Is it a bad thing to put my MacBook Air 13" directly on my bed not raised on a flat surface?
Yes, yes, and Yes
Considerations for the long life of your Macbook Air. Handling and environmental care tips
Don’t use your MacBook Air on the beadspread or pillow
Do not place your MacBook on a pillow or other soft material when it's powered on, as the material can block the airflow vents (in particular, the rear vents) and cause the computer to overheat. Never place anything over your keyboard when operating in closed-lid (clamshell) mode. This can cause your computer to cycle on and off, which might create excessive heat and drain your battery. Use a lapdesk if you want or plan on using your Macbook on your bed or couch, or in your lap.
Use of your notebook on a mattress or pillow blocks your notebook from circulating air as it needs to, and can lead to overheating rapidly
Lap desk for use with your notebook on the bed, your lap, or couch. Also very useful for removing wrist strain

I am using a sony HDR - CX100 camcorder. Do I need a converter for the videos to recorded with my camcorder to work in imovie? If yes, what converter do you recommend?
The guy at the Genius Bar has told you absolute and utter rubbish. It is true that Apple has stopped supporting iWeb, but it definitely DOES NOT mean that your website will stop working any time soon.
They should know that iWeb is an application on your Mac and as long as it is compatible with your OS - it works in Snow Leopard and Lion and will be compatible with the new Mountain Lion out this Summer, then you can still use it to build and maintain websites.
As long as your are not publishing your site to MobileMe, then you are okay - if you are publishing to a local folder and then uploading to another host that is fine and your site will not be going anywhere in a hurry.
You don't need to change software unless you really want to. -
i need to use an hp 6215 printer with my mac book pro. the driver installation disk doesn't work. where can i get a driver that will work?
With the Lion it is essentially unnecessary to resort to external driver disks. What's more, most of those disks are incompatible with the OS and should not be used. The system already carries a wide variety of printer description files (aka PPDs, which is what modern printing systems use as "drivers") for a lot of brands. And there was an HP printer update just two days ago.
Just checked in mine and did indeed find that the HP OfficeJet 6200 Series, with or without Fax, is covered with the latest update.
So just go thru the motions of creating a proper printer instance:
Make sure the Mac "sees" the printer on the network.
System Preferences / Print & Scan
Click on the + button on the left column
Select the appropriate type of printer, will use IP for the rest of this
Select HP Jetdirect - Socket, default for HP network printers
Type the IP address or look it up
Name the printer for easy identification on the print dialog
Let the Mac identify the printer model or manually choose the driver
Click Add.
Once the instance pops up in the list, can click on Options & Supplies for further config. -

Need help converting Pure HD video to Apple TV HD format.
Hello...
What is the maximum setting Quicktime Pro OR Final Cut Pro can be set at to convert/export HD video to a file Apple TV will accept?
I shoot family video in 1920x1080 HD. Until the recent upgrade by Apple TV, one could only get 1280x720 as a maximum resolution when 'Converting to Apple TV' from within iTUNES (or, any other program that iTUNES would then accept).
With the recent software upgrade, Apple TV is now said to be 'true HD', yet, when I tried to just sync original HD content, apple TV would not accept it.
So.. I just let iTUNES convert it, like always. iTUNES converted the file all right.. to 960x540!
What gives? As Apple TV now is to be "HD" capable, I ask again:
"What is the maximum setting Quicktime Pro OR Final Cut Pro can be set at to convert/export HD video to a file Apple TV will accept?".
Thanks!Yeah its Billy haha. I hate that I can't change the alias. Oh Well.
Ah I see what you meant. Thanks for the link. 720p is a true HD standard, so is 1080i and 1080p. Broadcast TV is either 720p or 1080i, but not 1080p. Some people even say 720p is better than 1080i, because it is Progressive ( p ) and not Interlaced ( i ). I think ABC, ESPN and FOX broadcast using 720p. When stations first started moving over to HD, Fox actually used 480p, which I believe was known EnhancedTV instead of HDTV, which I would say is the category that 540p falls into.
Anyway, no where in your link is 1080 mentioned, and 720p is a true HD standard, so that is what Apple was referring to.
Someday when its more feasible, I'm sure Apple will up everything to some sort of 1080, but for now due to file size and bandwidth, I actually prefer and agree with the decision to use 720p. I think I'm in the minority though.
I hope this helps a little.

No video mirroring AppleTV ver 2 or 3 from new Macbook Air (very latest)
I have both a 2nd gen and 3rd gen apple TV and a brand new Macbook Air with Mountain Lion plus all updates installed on all devices. I can see both Apple TVs in myAirplay menu and can select either one. In both cases the sound works but the TV video goes blank and then later returns to the screensaver while the sound continues to stream. I have tried every possible resolution setting and nothing seems to work. The Apple TVs have hardwired ethernet and the Macbook Air is using wireless through my Airport Extreme (less than six months old).
Any ideas on what the problem is or how to resolve?I'm in a similar boat to you, wondering whether I should replace my 2006 MBP 2.4 C2D 4Gb/160Gb with the top spec 13" MBA, or wait unti the next MBP refresh at the end of the year / begining of 2012.
FWIW, I think for your needs a MBA would probably do the job quite admirably... it should be able to handle rippng and Handbrake with no problems (faster than your current set up, but not as fast as a MBP).
I guess the real test is how well it can handle HD editing. I'm sure it will be fine for the occasional use, but then again a MBP would be better.
Personally though, I think you'd probably get more use and life out of a MBP. Mine is still going strong and it is more than adequate for my daily uses, but it's time for a change anyway. -

HT3775 how can i convert an AVI video file to work on my iMac?
I have just bought an imac and am trying to put my movies on to the mac from a microsoft machine. A lot of them are in AVI or MKV formats and I want to know if there is a converter I can download on my imac which will convert these files? Any help would be gratefully received.
If you just want to move these avi and mkv files to play on iMac, you can download VLC player, it plays just every file format.

For converting files to Mac readable format, I use this one all the time:

It supports handling multiple files at a time. one of my cameras record in .AVI format and i bulk convert to .mp4 or h264. -

Hello!
The camera stops working. Not detected by any program (Facetime, Skype, Hangouts, Zoom). This happens usually after a few hours of work or after the computer sleeps. To make the webcam function again I need to restart.
Any suggestions?Why does that seem likely to be a hardware issue? How did you come to that conclusion? Do you know something about this issue that indicates that? (I realise that this might sound short and rude - I am not trying to be rude here - just to understand) My thought is that conventional troubleshooting would say that this is a software issue because it is fixed with a restart.
I also have this problem. The camera quits working after some time - I have not been able to make it stop working. Sometimes it is after I suspend the computer (close the lid) other times it still works.
All I know is that intermittently my camera stops working and it is a big pain to have to reboot whenever I am going have a video chat.
Anyone got any solutions, I'm not covered by applecare so would rather try and fix it myself if possible? -
I have an Imac and can't view a wmv file. I tried fip4mav and it still won't open. Any suggestions? Thx.
Is the link to that wmv file publicly available? I'd like to try it to see what I can find out about it.
You could convert it (say using iFFmpeg or EasyWMV for example).
Note, vlc, like many other mac software, is downloaded as a .dmg file. If it doesn't automatically expand after downloading it then double click it. It will mount on your desktop showing an icon. You could then drag that icon to wherever you desire (i.e., copy the icon representing the mouted .dmg) or double click the icon to open it up like any other folder and drag the vlc.app program to the indicated applications folder.
