Making the leap
Hi there newbie here.
Can I install the latest os x on my imac g4 700mhz machine? Can't seem to fathem out whether it's high enough spec or not. Got an ipod for christmas and think something's telling me that I need to finally upgrade from os 9!
Thanks Sarah
Hi Sarah, Welcome to Discussions!
I have just checked here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=88297
and looked at the specifications for the older flat panel iMacs. Just like the current models, there were, then, a variety of specs; 128mb & 256mb options as well as CD-RW,DVD-ROM/CD-RW and Superdrive drives. However if you click on the Apple logo top left of your screen and select 'About this Mac' that will tell you how much memory is installed. Then click 'More info...', and (almost) everything you need to know will be there, 'though it may not tell you whether you've got a DVD drive.
You may find that you fall down straight away on the memory. Although Apple say that Tiger needs a minimum of 256mb, at least 512mb is preferable. (All the current models have 512mb as standard ;-) )
A 512mb stick from Crucial would cost just over £90 (+ fitting if you can't DIY). Tiger costs another £90. If you haven't got a DVD drive, add £10+ to that for the CD version. You're over a third of the way to a Brand New iBook with Tiger pre-installed!! Maybe nearly half way if you keep your eyes on Apple's Refurbished Store from 10am Wednesdays...
Good luck anyway.

Making the leap to Mac 64-bit GUI
Right now, the way I am handling the GUI is making a Windows-native GUI and a Mac-native GUI (Carbon).
However, to make to a 64-bit plug-in, I am looking at moving my GUI over to Cocoa for both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions. (To maintain 3 sets of GUIs would be way, way too much.)
1- Should I try to implement the GUI in Cocoa or should I just move to a cross-platform GUI approach like Qt?
2- If I do go down the Cocoa route... I can't figure out how to get a Cocoa GUI working in 32-bit Photoshop. In the CS5 SDK, I got rid of the stuff in the DissolveUIMac.cpp file and disabled the if statement in DissolveUIMacCocoa, but this crashes Photoshop with a EXC_BAD_ACCESS error that I can't seem to track down.
Any thoughts? :/ Spoiled rotten by 64-bit on Windows... updating was so easy. Thanks by the way to all the helpful people on this forum!!!!!I'd personally suggest using Qt - its an easy-to-learn, well-designed cross-platform library; it handles internationalization and has a lot of other benefits. And yes, it integrates reasonably easy with Adobe plugin framework.

Making the leap to edit in HD...so confused. PrpRes or XDCAM HD
Edited my first hour long program in HD. What a nightmare. I shoot in XDCAM HD and captured using ProRes. Using AJA Kona 3/SDI. Had a few lockups and crashes and long render times for all graphics. Just a simple text within FCP took 8 minutes for a 10 second clip! And Motion and LiveType, forget about it. Gotta be doing something wrong. Jerry, thanks for the help last week, but I am still confused if I should use ProRes or use file transfer and stay with XDCAM HD. I am about ready to stay with DV. I apologize for my ignorance, but I really appreciate the info you guys provide. I am kinda lost here. There seems to be no simple answer. My vendor is an AVID guy, so he offers little help.
Thanks again,

Very helpful. I'm also using XDCAM HD and have an i/o HD box from AJA. I have been importing the XDCAM files via Sony's software, editing my sequence natively, and changing the renders to ProRes. I recently started changing the sequence setting to ProRes and rendering. It seems to correct a lot of playback and Edit to Tape problems I had been having when laying my sequence off to a Sony 1080i HDCAM deck. Reading your post, I'm wondering if this is a smart process. I was changing the sequence to ProRes to gain the 10-bit environment for the graphics, lower thirds and overlays I bring in. Does rendering the sequence cause any loss? Do you prefer native over ProRes when it comes to XDCAM HD (I'm shooting in 1080i because the client wants a Sony HDCAM 1080i master)
Are there any other workflows for the XDCAM HD and the i/o box? I know Panasonic's P2 import software allows you to choose any codec you have on your machine...so you can pick ProRes if you like. Sony doesn't have that option and the 330 doesn't have SDI out. -
Running OS 9.1 on a sawtooth G4 just now making the leap to OS X!
I am so lost on where to begin to upgrade my sidekick MAC. It's primarily used for music production with older Cubase software, (no internet or other programs are used on this computer). But out of necessity, I need to upgrade to OS X. Please help. I upgraded the processor with a Newer Tech piece from Other World Computing in 2011 but haven't used it in the OSX environment. I bought Panther disc onlne but it doesn't boot up. I'm told i may have to take baby steps and start with 9.2 then go from there, can anyone help. yeah I know I'm decades late, but I've never had a problem with my software or my Mac doing just what I needed it to do. Any suggestions
The update to 9.2.2 can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1387
Start with that.
Did you get a proper Panther disk, that is the universal installer with a Silver X on a black background? If you've gotten a hardware specific grey disk, it will not boot unless it is for the exact same mac model.
I suspect you may be facing that issue, as a G4 with a 733 CPU should be able to boot up that Panther disk no problem.. HOWEVER.. Panther is quite limited and the better bet is to find a budget installation of Tiger on CD, as that is the best-last OSX version (10.4.11) for the older G4 macs. (I have Tiger on a livingroom audio-box that is used to rip vinyl) Tiger ALSO allows you to 'classic boot' to OS9 applications if need be. -
Making the leap with my luggage...
The luggage is the many manuscripts & art files I have created using Microsoft Publisher (formerly stand-alone - now part of Office). Will I be able to use those files on CDs - made with Publisher - or will I have to keep this old PC plugged in in order to use them?
Thanks.You may have already done so but if not...
Be sure to research "HD" in general... why do you need it, how will you monitor it, how will you deliver it.
More specifically with regard to your chosen camera, research HDV and the various FCP, HDV workflow options. There's plenty here to read if you do a search.
Not saying there is anything wrong with the format but a little research can avoid a lot of confusion.

was making the update for my iphone 4s . then he stops. My phone in this time is in the recovery mode and do not take the firmware to open my phone, please can u help me to recover my phone. My current ios 6.0.1. plese send me some thing that is useful
Thanks for that 'sberman' - because my iPhone is backed-up to my work computer (only at this stage) I have had to call our IT Department in Adleaide. (4 times this morning). The last guy managed to get the phone into 'DFU Mode' - no more recovery mode screen - (kind of 'asleep' perhaps) from my understanding of same. I am awaiting a call again from IT so they can get my computer to actually recognise my iPhone on the C Drive. This also happened to one of my colleagues in Newman (WA). She got so frustrated with the whole process that she bought another phone the next time she was in 'civilisation.' She hasn't had any problems since. (Cross fingers).
Thanks again, Sandra2474. -
Re Time Machine
I have an external hard drive with files I backed up manually over the past 2 years 1TB of memory.
I am finally taking the leap to use Time machine to back everything.
will I have to reformat that drive, thus wiping my previous back ups?
can I split it the drive in two partitions?
Also
as I have two separate Macbook Pro's- one older than the other.
OSX 10.68
the other is
OSX 10.75
can I back them up separately?
or even synch and merge files and folders etc? between the two?You CAN use a drive with files already on it to store Time Machine backups. But long term, that is not recommended. You do not need to reformat or re-partition the drive to do this. Once Time Machine Backups are established, you could remove the old files.
But do not delete Time Machines files with the Finder -- that can cause it to lose its place and lose everything.
With the cost of backup drives under US$100, it might be a better idea in the long run to get another drive. Best results from Time Machine is a drive about 3 times larger than the drive(s) you are backing up. -

My Itunes software, when activated, shows an image on the screen of the normal itunes image except that about 3" of the image is cut off on the right side of the screen and about 1" of the bottom. All functions shown work. Any function in the part of the screen that is not shown, is not available, making the softwave almost nonfunctionable. When I upgrade, this is usually resolved, until it starts happening again. Since I currently have the latest version of Itunes, I cannot try this solution, which is only temperary anyway. Can anyone help me?
Could you post a screenshot of the display for us please, bili?
Save the screenshot in an image file, start a new reply here, and use the wee camera icon at the top of the reply window to insert the image file into the reply. -

Automatic batch creation while making the UD
Hi Gurus,
Due to a customer need, I want to create the batch number for a good's receipt while making the UD, is that possible in a way other than using transaction MSC1N?Hello Max,
What I have understood is you need not to create batch number while posting the MIGO document and need to fire the batch number at the time of performing UD? If it is so then here is the solution:-
You can meet the requirement via so many ways but according to me the easiest way is, follow these steps.
Step:01 Copy the movement type 101 (use Trx OMJJ) create Z01. Where you need to select the option "No Creation" in the field "Create New Batch" in the entry level control.
Step:02 Use this movement type while creating GR, (change the std setting for GR against PO for trx MIGO)
Step:03 For movement type 321 - TF quality to unrest change the settings for the "Create New Batch" field from "No creation" to "Automatic / manual without check"
I think these will be enough for your requirement.
If there is any query pls revert.
Regards,

I'm trying to make a lopping .gif from an animation that I made. It's 147 total frames. It's crashed about 6 times now every time I either try and Save for Web or even just save the document on my desktop so in case it crashes I can reopen PS and recover it. Making the image size smaller (original size is 1920 x 1080 with resolution 72) does not help, it still makes the *ding* error when I attempt to save. I made the image more than half of the original size and the Save for Web box actually came up that time, but when I tried clicking save it said there was an error and PS crashed without warning.
Look at the crash report for your Photoshop crashes see what they show
