LR5 still uses cable for tethered capture

No Wifi support for tethered capture even though Mac can see the NIKON camera as wireless network and this technology is common with other camera makes and software - Go Pro for example.
No support for Live view with the USB cable in ( sofortbild offers thsi feature)
Can I capture video?

Yes.
The only difference is the installation method and the ownership verification. The program still is installed on and runs from your local machine. You only have to hook up to the internet every 60-90 days to verify ownership.

Do I need to be online to access my desktop apps?
No, the desktop applications in Creative Cloud, such as Photoshop and Illustrator, are installed directly on your computer, so you don’t need an ongoing Internet connection to use them.
An Internet connection is required the first time you install and license your apps, but you can use the apps in offline mode with a valid software license. The desktop apps will attempt to validate your software licenses every 30 days.
Annual members can use the apps for up to 99 days in offline mode. Month-to-month members can use the software for up to 30 days in offline mode."

Things I see missing since using Lightroom for tethered capture.

I have previously been using Leaf and Capture One, now we are converting to LR b/c of its features. But there are a few small things that I noticed are missing that should be easy to fix. First the compare window. When shooting tethered in Capture One you can pick a compare variant and it stay's up on the left and all the new captures show up on the right. I have tried the survey option in LR but when you make a capture or use the crop tool you're compare view goes away. This would be very helpful in my situation because we shoot high volume and the shots need to be as simalr as possible. Also something as simple as the grid, there are workaround but annoying ones. Please just ad a grid button,so you can turn it on and leave it on, along with movable guide lines, these are the only little features that Capture One has and LR does not.

You should be able to see the number in your system files/foldes by navigating to:
Mac:
/Users/[your user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Lightroom 4.0 Registration
Windows
C:\[your user name]\Program Data\Adobe\Lighroom\Lightroom 4.0 Registration

I frequently use Lightroom 3.6 for tethered capture on location. If I sign up for Adobe cloud and upgrade to Lightroom 5, do I have to be online all the time to use it? In other words, can I still use the program off-line?

I have an old (first generation) iMac that I still use sometimes for the applications that are on it. I was using it yesterday and unfortunately had a power cut. I went to turn it on today, and nothing at all happens. It's as though no power is getting to it. I've checked the obvious things, changed the fuse, tried different cables, poked paperclips in reset holes, but nothing doing. I wonder if there is anyone who knows what might be wrong. I was hoping to get some of its content transferred soon, but I'm guessing that can't be done if it can't be started up. Many thanks, if you can help

Hello,
>It's as though no power is getting to it.
Would it be correct to assume that no sounds at all can be heard? Also, no lights, not even green or amber at the power button?
>unfortunately had a power cut.
Was it possibly a power cut in connection with a thunderstorm? Any other evidence of higher than normal voltages (light bulbs, et cetera)? Has the line voltage been checked (measured with an appropriate voltmeter/multimeter)?
If necessary, it would be possible to remove the hard drive, and then connect it to an external IDE/ATA to USB adapter (example below). That way you could gain access to files on the hard disk from another computer.

LR 4 won't connect to Canon 1D x for tethered capture

It looks as though LR4 won't recognize the new Canon 1D x for tethered shooting. does anyone know of a work around for this? does anyone know when this feature will be added to LR4?

You can check here periodically:
<http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/tethered-camera-support-lightroom-4.html> http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/tethered-camera-support-lightroom- 4.html
Adobe doesn’t pre-announce support for things, and the standard answer is that they are still waiting for Canon to release their software-development-kit that supports the newer Canon cameras, so Adobe can use it to attach to them. As you can see the 1Dx shows no SDK in the Drivers and Software area:
http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/professional/products/professional_cameras/digital_slr_camer as/eos_1d_x#DriversAndSoftware
while something like the older 5D Mark II does list an SDK being available:
http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/professional/products/professional_cameras/digital_slr_camer as/eos_5d_mark_ii#DriversAndSoftware
Canon seems to have last released an SDK in April 2011, so any cameras newer than that aren’t supported for image capture unless they are very similar to ones that are supported and might work. The 1Dx is fairly new so wouldn’t be supported by Canon and therefore no Adobe, either, yet.
Nikon has already released their SDK for the new Nikon D800 and Capture One supports it, already, but Adobe still doesn’t so it won’t necessarily be released immediately even when Canon does release their SDK.

Special cable for tethering?

In trying to diagnose a tethering issue our support guy said the USB cable that's delivered with the device isn't the one used for tethering. The cable I have serves as the data cable along with being the power-supply cable.
Is there really different cable necessary to tether?
Thanks!

Internet Tethering lets you share iPhone’s Internet connection with a computer connected via USB or Bluetooth. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the setup. Use the dock cable that came with your phone for USB tethering.
Choose General > Network > Internet Tethering, then turn Internet Tethering on or off.

Using AppleTV on HDTV, while still using computer for other programs

So, here's what i want to do...i want to use AppleTV in lieu of cable television, as i don't watch enough TV to warrant the cost of digital cable.
Sooooo... i want to be able to watch online content on my HDTV, connected to my home theater, but still use my MacMini to use other programs. Basically, i want all my video content to go directly to my HDTV (youtube, Hulu, an other videos streamed directly from websites, such as comedycentral.com), while keeping my desktop monitor solely for the use of other programs (iLife, iWork, photoshop, etc).
Is this a possible feat? I know if i use websites like ComedyCentral's to watch Daily Show & Colbert, it will have to go through my MacMini (i assume), but can it then be sent directly to my HDTV, and NOT have the video output go to my monitor?
Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Well, i appreciate your reply, but the very first line in my question asks, "I want to use AppleTV in lieu of cable..." and then i go on to ask whether AppleTV can do what i need. I'm not sure where else to ask a question about what AppleTV can do, than under the AppleTV support section.
Was there a different place i should put a question about AppleTV?

My wife and I both have MacBooks (I have MacBook Pro and she has Air) and both are associated with my apple ID since I bought them. However, this means that Safari is linked for both her and I as well as our contacts etc. Can I still use mine ID for apps for her but associate hers with her own ID that I have yet to make?

Well with the MS Hotmail/Outlook.com account that is hard. But she should be able to link all of it to the iCloud system using her Apple ID.
I suggest you do a Google search for "link contacts, Calendars, iMessage with iCloud".
For some stupid reason MS has limited the syncing/linking of only emails and Notes with the Hotmail/Live Mail/Outlook.com system.
They have not included any Exchange features for syncing all that info. That is unless you are using Outlook 2013 and that is only for Windows.

Using Premiere for screen captures

Hi Gang-
Would love to use Premiere to simply capture my screen actions along with my narrated audio so that I can take advantage of the speech-to-text functionality for print and search capabilities. Does anyone know if this is possible? Is there a way to tell Premiere to use my screen as the recording device? I've used SnapZPro X and Captivate on Mac and Windows respectively, but it's that speech-to-text functionality that I'd love to take advantage of in Premiere. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Rich

Paul-
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I saw that camtasia software, and while it looks impressive I really need something that has the speech-to-text capabilities. I have MacDictate (Dragon) but the Premiere CS4 has speech to text that actually syncs up to the timeline of the sequence. So if I search on "bulldog" and I have one occurrence of it somewhere in the middle of my sequence than I could take the user right to that point in the move. Catch my drift? I'd hate to have to film my screen from my camera but I may end up doing that in this case.... maybe someone else will come up with something clever. If I get a stroke of genius (very unlikely at this late hour) I'll be sure to post. Thanks again for your input.

Using Cable for Router - Router connectivity

Can i use straight cable for Router to Router Back to Back connectivity? or does auto mdix command works on Router?

What I have read (and have seen in my experience) is that auto-mdix is enabled by default on the routing platforms. I would try the cable and see if it works. Worst that will happen is the communication will have issues. It's not going to "hurt" anything if it doesn't work.
When connected, do a "show interface Gi0/X transceiver properties". You will then see things like this that will tell you the MDIX status:
Administrative Speed: auto
Administrative Duplex: auto
Administrative Auto-MDIX: on
Administrative Power Inline: enable
Operational Speed: auto
Operational Duplex: auto
Operational Auto-MDIX: on
Media Type: 10/100/1000BaseTX
Hope that helps.

Improve auto-import for tethered capture...

Simply add an option to have new images automatically inherit the develop settings of the previous image (all settings including crop).
Currently, when shooting tethered, I capture and adjust an image - but before I can go back to camera I need to create a new develop preset and point to it in auto-import settings (simply re-saviing the current preset doesn't work). However, this doesn't consistently hold the crop -- and so much commercial work is shot to a specific layout or proportion. Instead, I rely on the previous and/or sync function. Ideally, there would be a way to know that the new images would easily auto import with the same look as previous photos.
Thanks,
Andy

This would be more readily solved by adding crop to develop presets, which is useful for other purposes also.

Any good chargers or dual-use cables for charging an iPhone 4S (30-pin) and iPad 4 (lightning)?

Here is the situation:
A sick friend lies in bed most of the time and has her iPhone 4S (30-pin) charging cable connector within reach. She now also has an iPad 4 (lightning connector).
We are looking for a good charging solution which doesn't require multiple chargers or getting up and replacing the cable in the adapter.
We know we can use the same adapter for the iPad 4 and iPhone 4S, but the cable/connector is different.
Is there a good single cable with both kinds of connectors on the end?
Or would a connector adapter be easiest?
Or is there some cool charging unit which can do both at the same time?
Thanks,
Doug

Your only two choices, that I can think of, is to use an adapter. I have a third party one that I got at Office Depot that has micro USB on the end, with a lightning or 30 pin that I can swap out. And there are cables that are dual ended...as in the adapter is attached and can be plugged/unplugged but are still part of the cable.
For third party I'd suggest to stick to well known names, Targus, Zagg, Kensington, Belkin etc for your shopping. THose companies have most likely, gotten permission from Apple to make accessories.
The only other option I can think of is to use a longer extension cord to put the power block near your friend's bed, which will then allow her to plug in the appropriate cable to charge the appropriate device.

Can I use my external HD for Time Machine and still use it for storage?

I have a 1TB external HD and my computer has yet to arrive. I was planning on backing it up via Time Machine and I'm wondering if my external HD will still be useable as a storage device once I pair it with Time Machine.
There's no way the backup will take up the full 1TB of space, so I'm hoping it doesn't just go to waste >.<

If you really only want backups of the current contents, don't use Time Machine.
It's designed to keep copies of things you've changed or deleted for as long as possible. This allows you an excellent chance to recover a previous version of something you changed or deleted in error.
It also allows you to revert your entire system to the exact state it was in at the time of any previous backup, even if that's a different version of OSX. It's rare, but if an OSX update, or installation of a kernel extension or 3rd-party app makes a huge mess, it's much easier and more reliable than rebuilding everything.
You might want to review the [Time Machine Tutorial|http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/#timemachinebasics] and perhaps browse [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum). See #1 there for size considerations.

How do I delete or change my number in my old iPhone, so that I can still use it for iMessages without issue?

I have an iPhone 4S that was with Verizon. About a week ago I ported into Virgin Mobile and bought a new phone to use until the next iPhone comes out. I now still have my old iPhone, which I want to use for iMessages, as well as like an iPod, etc.
The issue I am seeing is that my phone number is still registered to my iPhone and I haven't yet figured out how to delete it or change it. The problem this is causing is it is making my iPhone sometimes intercept messages from those with iMessage who are texting my phone number. The messages should be going to my new phone, not my iPhone, since they are texting my phone number (not my iMessage email) and my iPhone has no service connected to it.
Here's an example of what I'm trying to say: the other day I texted a guy selling an item online. I used my new phone to text him, not my iPhone. He texted me right back, but the text went to my iPhone, not my new phone. We then texted each other via iMessage and no texts were making it to my new phone.
I think this is also causing some messages to not go through on my new phone either, where I'm just simply not getting texts from people sending me messages. My iPhone isn't getting the messages, nor is my new phone.
What I need to do is delete my number or put a random number in my phone so that I don't keep missing or losing texts. I saw the ways recommended to disconnect your number from iMessage, but that then kills my ability to use iMessage on my iPhone. There must be a way that the number in my iPhone can be changed or deleted. We are in 2013 I think, and this was something I always had the option of changing via manual programming on every phone I've had since 1902 or so.
How to do this?!

I also already deleted my phone number from iMessage on my MBP.

I was reading an earlier post about upgrading to 10.9.2 and still using Office for Mac Excell 2004. Will Excell 2004 work with OS 10.9.2 or is there an Open Office I can use?

I currently have 10.9.2 and just purchased Office 365. The 365 won't work for what I want to do. Need to go backe to Excell 2004. Is there anyway to do this with my current OS? Need to interface with a Windows 2003 Excell user.

Need to interface with a Windows 2003 Excell user.
First, MS Office 2004 will not work on versions of OS X Lion or later including your 10.9.2. On Mavericks you need Office 2011.
Second, the difference between Excel formats in Office 2008/2011 vs. earlier versions of Excel is that Office 2008/20011 uses the ".xlsx" filetype but earlier versions including Windows Excel 2003 use the older ".xls" filetype. The older versions of Excel can't open the newer ".xlsx" filetype ... but there is a way you can exchange Excel files between the newer and older versions of Excel!
In Office 2008/2011 just SAVE AS Excel 97-2004 Workbook (.xls) if you need to use or exchange your Excel file with earlier versions of Excel, Windows or Mac. And, going the other way, Excel 2008/2011 can open and use the older .xls files just fine.
