Mini users unite! We can figure out the DVI..

Ok, so after my fiasco with Apple yesterday, and calling my other tech friends here in Portland at the other Mac stores here in town, I think we can figure out whats going on.
The first step I think is to rule out the monitors. I've already ruled out cables. Lets call this DATA AND STATISTICS GATHERING. We're not doing the P011 word here. We want to gather data to figure out what we all have in common. If we can get all the models of monitors here, maybe they're all DVI, not DVI-D.
I've got a Princeton 19" vl1916.

Dell 1701FP LCD Panel.
Just checked and its a DVI-D interface.

The screen of my MacBook Pro itself periodically switches the color. That is, with the usual colors, on some blue. What to do? Should be repaired, or you can figure out the most? HELP ME PLEASE!

LambChops1,
I’m using Mavericks, and it’s still possible to select text to drag and for cutting and pasting. Left-clicking and right-clicking is still possible, too.
Try opening the Trackpad pane of System Preferences, and select the Point & Click tab. To right-click, ensure that your “Secondary click” checkbox has been checked; the small print under “Secondary click” is a dropdown menu which allows you to select the form of right-clicking that you prefer. (For instance, mine is set to “Click in bottom right corner”.) For left-clicking, is your “Tap to click” checkbox checked, or unchecked? (Mine is unchecked, since I prefer pushing for left-clicking over tapping to do so.)

TS2446 is there anyway i can figure out the email addresses that i used to make my iCloud account?

i have forgotten the first icloud account linked to the find my iphone app and my phone has been restarted to the factory settings is there anybody i can calll or anything i can do to find out my old informaion?

Unfortunately, only you know/knew the ID and password of your account. This is part of iOS 7's new security that prevents others from accessing your data on a device that has the Find My iPhone service running.
If you do remember the account ID (but not the password), you might try the following link, click the Manage your Account botton there ..

Iphone 5 battery drain issue, a question to all tech gurus.A challenge to those who can figure out the problem!

Hi guys!
I bought an iPhone 5 approximately 18 months back (warranty over) and have been running into battery problems for the past 1 month
my phone drains about 10% per hour while on sleep mode (no usage at all other than picking up calls) ,hence it can normally last up to 8-10 hours on sleep mode alone.However,when the phone is being used,it can usually only last up to 1-2 hours.It usually feels slightly warm on touch on sleep mode but becomes a little hotter when using at prolonged periods,otherwise it works quite well externally.This in my opinion is not normal since I've been using this phone for the past year and i can kind of guess the normal battery lifespan of my phone.My current iPhone 5 version is 7.1.1 and is not jailbroken.
I have had my phone changed into a new one just last year due to the faulty sleep/wake function,FYI
Before you say anything,i would like to let you know that i come from Malaysia whereby there are no genius bars here and most are 3rd party support groups who are more or less not bothered to fix or diagnose my phone problem and are more likely to change my phone into a new refurbished phone instead (cost approximately 300USD),they are not even willing to touch my phone.Trust,me I've been to more than one official stores.
Hence I've devised a few ways of diagnosing the phone problem myself based on online tips and tutorials
1)Factory reset : ive backed up and restored the phone (factory reset) with a new account just to test if it is the fault of the software.This process was done about 6 times in total but with no progress
2)Ive tried every single software tweak suggested from the net - switch off data/off wifi/airplane mode/off icloud/off background refresh/resetting the phone etc..You name it,I've done it!
3)Ive also checked for evidence of decay from the current iPhone,which shows a design capacity of 1430 and full charge capacity of 1352,which is pretty good if ud asked me.
4)As for the usage and standby values,it is not equal.on full recharge it says stand by at more than 20-24 hours and usage time of 8 hours.However,in reality this values are never really achieved.
5)Every single app has been deleted FYI,there are only stock apps in my phone.
6)Finally i gave in and had given my phone to someone experienced to manually change my internal battery into a new one ( i was observing him and I'm quite sure that he hadn't damaged anything while fixing it ).But this does not improve the battery power one bit.
This leads me to believe that this might be a hardware issue other than the battery itself,i was wondering if anyone has ever encountered a case such as this one since i am truly unable to find a cause on why the battery is drained in this manner,I'm suspecting that my sleep button might be activated,but my phone is unable to sleep internally due to some unknown reason.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much!

Digitizing Old Video Tapes I Can Figure Out Hardware is iMovie the Software

I have some old VHS tapes and some newer DV tapes.
I'd like to get convert all the old tapes so I can share digital copies with members of my family.
I think I can hook up a VCR to my DV camera and then hook that to my iMac. Failing that I'll buy some sort of converter.
Once I figure out the "hardware how?" I wonder about the "software what?" Is iMovie okay for me to work with? In what format do I store the files? bla bla bla. Right now I just want to get digital copies of all my videos; I'll edit files later.
I only want to do this conversion once and would hate to end up with a lower quality compressed file or something not compatible with editing when if I'd set things different I'd be better off if you get my drift.
I know there are many posts in these discussions about importing video -- if anyone can guide me through the advice or offer more insights I'd be grateful.
Thanks

I have done lots of that.

Yes, that is one way.
Failing that I'll buy some sort of converter.
I Like the Grassvalley ADVC300.
I've played around with countless other conversion systems, ranging in price from $79 to $399. Short verison, this is the ONLY unit to own. No dropped frames at all, even with questionable quality tapes, no jitter, great color, excellent sound quality. Zero setup with iMovie 06 and iDVD 09/11.
This is a prosumer deck. The time code function is alone worth the price if you have old analog footage. Absolutely NO "Out Of Sync" audio.
ADVC300 is for anyone who wants to do editing and is concerned about quality of color and speed, for the novice it is an incredible gizmo that will restore VHS tapes to a state close to the original fixing midtones, highlights and shadows on the fly. Not only can you simply convert analog to digital you can actually manipulate the signal going in (if you want to).
A bit pricey but it WORKS.
I only want to do this conversion once and would hate to end up with a lower quality compressed file or something not compatible with editing when if I'd set things different I'd be better off if you get my drift.
I do get your drift.
I would use iMovie 06 with iDVD 09/11, why?
iMovie 09/11 uses 'single field processing' meaning every other horizontal line of the video is thrown out, which reduces the sharpness of the footage. iMovie 06 uses ALL of the image to form the video.
If your primary workflow is editing DV clips and making DVDs, iMovie '06 is better suited. Your movie will arrive at iDVD in DV format, which is an ideal match for making a DVD: same resolution, same pixels aspect ratio, and original quality. If you share your movie from iMovie 09/11, it gets re-rendered at 640x480 or less, and then iDVD upscales it back to 720x480. The end result is obviously not as good.
Compared to today's standards DV Video's quality is not that great, so I don't want to lose ANYTHING in my conversion, I have no quality to "spare".
iMovie 06 and iDVD 09/11 is a "lossless" combination.

HT201272 Anyone know how I can figure out which of my family's 5 Apple devices was used to purchase something from iTunes ?   We all have the same apple account/ID.   Thanks!

What I was afraid of.   Thanks.   Seems like someone at Apple should be figuring this out. Would be nice to link each purchase to a specific device.
That would not be practical or probably even possible since one of the features of recent versions of iTunes and the iTunes Store is to allow new purchases to be automatically downloaded to every device registered to your Apple ID when something is purchased. If you want purchases linked to specific devices, each user should have his or her own iTunes Store account.

I need help figuring out the best way to convert analogue video to DV so that I can edit it.

I have a large number of VHS and hi8 tapes that I want to convert to high quality DV.
I have a couple of options. One is an Elgado Video capture system.
The other is a Sony Digital Media Converter Box (DVMC-DA2).
I have tried a few of the less important tapes using the Elgado Video Capture system. It only allows you to convert to MPEG4 or H.268. It is not very good quality, especially for archival items or items I would later wish to edit.
I also have the Sony Digital Media Converter Box. I have heard that this is a superior option. So far, though, I have only been able to figure out how to import using an old version of iMovie HD. This makes a large imovie project file (approximately 6.18GB for a 28:30 clip vs a 348.9MB for an MPEG4 using delgado.
On top of that to convert the file from an iMovieProject file to DV is an additional step that so far looks like will take a half an hour at best.
Is there any way for me to import VHS/hi8 tapes using the Digital Media Converter Box to creat high quality DV files directly? If so, where can I find this info? What steps should I take and what are the settings I should use.
I have a lot of tapes so I want to figure out the right and most efficient way to do this because I will be repeating it a bunch of times and would hate to have to start over again.
I should also mention that I am using a Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, with OSX 10.9.1
I'm sorry in advance if this seems like an obvious question, but I have been googling and looking at tutorials on the site and just have not found the answer. There are a lot of ads for expensive low quality services to do this converting for you, so maybe the answer I am looking for is burried in all that advertising.
Thanks

Thanks Biggles and Gotz. I just couldint find capture, but now I can! (It was right under my nose too).
I'm trying it now and it appears to be working. Do you have any other recommendations for capturing from hi8 video source as far as setting go? I am using DV to capture. Are there any other settings I should pay attention to?
There is an extra line of video noise at the bottom, but when I google it, it sounds like it won't show on most standard tvs and if I want to fix it for online, that I should mask it after the fact vs scaling up the video.

How can I figure out the parent of a thread???

Hey guys!!!
I have a tiny question!!
I have a thread which could be run by 1 of 2 different parents.
So my idea was to set a variable...for example int a...and initialize it with 1 for the first parent and with 2 for the seond...then in the thread I make if...else...and whether a is 1 or 2 I know who the parent is.
So what I wanna know is:
Is there a method which can figure out who of those 2 the parent started the thread without using a variable???
cheers,
Tom

You code do that or if both parents implement some
interface, call it parentInterface have them pass them selfs in ... and the thread store that as part of its context.
Then provide a method call it getParent which returns that parent object. And even a getParentName.
interface parentInterface
public String getName();
} // parentInterface
class myThread extends Thread
public myThread(parentInterface pi)
pInterface = pi;
} // myThread
public String getParentName()
return pInterface.getName();
} // getParentName
parentInterface pInterface = null;
} // myThread
class parent1 implements parentInterface
} // parent1
class parent2 implements parentInterface
} // parent2

I was hoping there might be some way to create a network between the 2 machines (and 2 different versions of the OS) to be able to transfer data across immediately but perhaps I'll just have to wait for my firewire adaptor to arrive.
I don't understand why you're buying a Firewire adaptor, since AFAIK both of your computers have Firewire already built in.
All you need is a firewire cable. Connect the Firewire socket on the old machine to the Firewire socket on your new iMac.
Then start the old machine in Target Mode (i.e. by holding down the T key on its keyboard, while it's starting up, until you see the three-legged T icon hopping around the screen of the old machine.)
At that point you will also see a new icon on the screen of your new iMac. This is the hard drive of your old machine. By clicking on it you can navigate through it any way you like, just as you would normally.
Just drag across whatever you want from the old computer to the new one. This will leave everything on the old computer untouched.
- or use Migration Assistant but in my experience, Migration Assistant isn't very reliable and fails to migrate large amounts of stuff.

I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.
SOLUTION: How to reset apple tv 3 3rd generation to view rented movies:on the apple tv remote: press and hold "menu" to go to the main menu. Select SETTINGS> GENERAL >RESET >RESET ALL SETTINGS. After the apple tv resets, input all your information again and your rented movies should be visible when you cruise above the "movies" section. THANK YOU!!
Apple needs to solve this issue because honestly it took me 3 hours and a half to watch a movie that only lasted 2 BECAUSE I wast trying to solve the issue, reseting and all. blahh.
