Need to idiot-proof an iMac with 2 different size printers

Have an iMac with a Kodak 500 photo printer (ONLY prints on a 4.17in x 7.25in "postcard" size) and laser printer (8.5x11 only) connected (Kodak via USB, Laser via network) ... need to get it to automate the page setup (size) based on the printer selected in the print dialog ... can this be done automatically? Tried through page setup, but it didn't seem to like to keep the page size linked to the printer.
In this case the Kodak will NEVER print on anything else, and the laser will be on letter 99.99% of the time.

You can special-order a matte screen iMac. My 3GB slightly outdated iMac deals reasonably well with 300GB files (there are some pauses, but not for more than a second or so). If this level of performance would drive you crazy, get the Mac Pro (and plenty of RAM).

    The iPad and related software is designed to sync with only one computer. I suggest transferring the photos from one of your iMacs to the other so that all photos are on one Mac. Same for all other files you want to sync over.
    To get those AppleWorks files to the iPad you'll have to determine if Pages will open them. If it will then use the file sharing feature of iTunes to copy them to Pages on your pad.
    If Pages will not open the AppleWorks files directly you'll have to save them in some format that Pages will read. These include but may not be limited to Pages and Word formats.

    Move the iPhoto library from the Pictures item of the Finder's sidebar on the MacBook Pro to the same location on the iMac via FireWire Target Disk mode, or a drive, partition, or disk image formatted as Mac OS Extended, or through AFP file sharing over a network.

  • Disjointed rollover with different size images?

    Every tutorial says the disjointed rollover images MUST be the same size, etc.  But for the type of photos I'm working with, it's impossible to make them the same height.  This site is exactly what I'm going for with the different sized images being used:  http://www.warmbloods-for-sale.com/HorseDetail.asp?HorseID=21333&UserID=1775.  Any idea how they accomplish this?  Or any ideas on how I can manage the same effect with different sizes in Dreamweaver CS4?

    Do a Google search for Lightbox, litebox, floatbox or look at Project Seven's Image Gallery Magic.

  • Can a single HID report descriptor support multiple touch screens with different sizes?

    Hi Experts:
    I have a question for specifying touch monitor sizes in the HID report descriptor:
    Can ONE HID report descriptor support multiple touch monitors with different sizes ?
    Thanks in advance
    leo

    My screen shot is from AA9, and I have seen that the UI for AAX is vastly different, but...
    Choose Paper Source from Page Size should be the "one-touch" solution your looking for.
    In my test, my Konica-Minolta Bizhub failed to detect the proper paper trays, but Acrobat correctly spooled the pages.

  • Multiple masters with DIFFERENT sizes?

    Hi,
    I think this is a NO, but I have to ask.
    Is it possible to have different master pages in a single document, each with a different size?
    If not, how do I tackly my problem?
    I am making a sales matrix and it will be comprised of 3.5 inch by 7 inch pages with some 3.5 by 3.5 inch pages interspersed throughout.
    I don't want to have two InDesign files, so it would be great if I could have masters with different sizes, OR if there was a way to use the larger of the two sizes, 3.5x7 and then set my square 3.5x3.5 pages doubled up on the larger page.
    I know I can use the 'book' feature, but sometimes that is more trouble than it's worth, especially with different size pages. What do you suggest?

    Peter,
    why do you say easier to work the other way?
    I think this spread thing may just work.
    I normally have facing pages in all of my saddlestitched letter size docs and output via Export to PDF with trim marks on. That gives me a pdf and eachpage has trim marks.
    Doing it this way with a 3.5x3.5 document and outputting spreads, I get exactly what I want. A pdf with one 7 inch page and 4 3.5 inch pages all with trim marks at the right places.
    Before I proceed though, I want to hear why this might be a bad idea....

  • Making an idiot proof presentation DVD with no visible menu

    I was asked by a client to deliver final video content on a DVD. It was for a presentation, and I asked if they wanted a menu or if they wanted the content to just play when the disc was inserted in the DVD player. They wanted the ability to have the DVD cued up and then initiate playback when desired. They asked for a "menu" where the screen was simply black, and then they wanted the video content to simply start from black when they hit "play" or "enter."
    I wanted to make sure this thing was "idiot proof." I didn't want them to be pressing "enter" and have nothing happen, so I made a button that was the size of the full screen. There was no text and no graphics. Just a giant button zone that was the full width and height of the menu area. This may not have been necessary, but if they were playing this back on a computer and using a mouse to navigate, I wanted the entire screen to be "active." Feel free to let me know if this is silly. With the button selected, I went into the "Colors" tab in the Inspector. I set the "Normal," "Selected," and "Activated" colors all to black and all to 15% opacity. My goal was to have the menu screen completely black with no evidence of anything, and then no indication of anything (color, text, or otherwise) when hitting "play" or "enter" so that the video would just start playing.
    "Simulate" gave me the impression that I had achieved the desired result, but unfortunately, when watching the final, burned DVD on a player, there was a grey flash when pressing the "play" (or "enter") button on the remote.
    Any thoughts as to why this would be? But really... my main question is "how do I achieve the result I want?" I'm open to setting this up in a completely different way, so you're welcome to tell me that my attempt was flawed from the get-go. My specialty is After Effects, so I'm a relative newbie when it comes to DVD Studio Pro. I may need to be schooled in a serious way.
    Thanks.

    I'm a little late, but thank you for answering my question. "The first button on a menu is always in the selected state no matter what," is exactly the kind of basic, fundamental type of information that I was lacking. I ended up making one button which I tagged as "invisible," and that's exactly what I needed.
    Thank you for taking the time to respond to my post. Much appreciated.

    Have a little patience. 4 minutes is only a short time for someone to find your post and reply to it. Also clicking on "This Solved My Problem" marks your problem as solved so many folks that may otherwise help will pass the question by since it is "solved."
    I suggest you start a new question that gives a good title to a specific problem. Then in the body of the thread describe the problem in detail, tell us what steps you have tried so far to correct the problem, what happened, and what error messages you received.

  • Handling files with different sizes of content (please help)!

    Hi,
    I have a written a program to tell customers how much certain apartments are to rent.
    It asks the reader to input a floor number and the number of bedrooms in the apartment. I then returns the price.
    The contents of the file look like this:
    0 400 450 510
    1 500 560 630
    2 625 676 740
    3 1000 1250 1600
    the first column of numbers refer to the floor number (0-3) and the following columns relate to the prices of bedrooms. The first is 0 rooms, then 1 room, then 2 rooms.
    So a one bedroom appartment on the 0th (ground) floor would be 450.
    This program works perfectly for this set of data and returns the correct answer. What i want to try and do is make it work with different sets of data
    e.g more floors and moree rooms. up to an unlimited number of both

  • Share Photos on the same iMac with different user accounts... How do You???

    Hello,
    I was wondering if there is a way to share photos with another user (same computer, different log-in names) on the same iMac?
    There are two users on my iMac and I want to be able to share photos and other documents, music etc. with them, but can't seem to do it.
    Please help.
    Thank you.

    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc. The problem here is that OS X works very hard to keep your data safe and secure from the other users. You're trying to beat what's built in to the system. So, to beat the system
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts
    Move the iPhoto Library Folder to an external HD set to ignore permissions. You could also use a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.
    In each account in turn: Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue, select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new library location. From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.
    Lastly: This method seems a little clunky at first, but works very well. Most importantly, it uses the System to do the job for you.
    Create a new Account on your Mac, call it Media. Create an iPhoto Library there. (BTW: This will work for iTunes too.)
    Enable Sharing on the Library:(Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other accounts. In those accounts, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. The Library will appear in the other source pane.
    This means that both users will be able to see the pics. If you want to use a pic then simply drag it from the shared Library to your own in the iPhoto Window. This means that each user can have their own edits.
    If you want to add photos to the Library: Log into the Media account for that purpose.
    To make it all seamless: Set your Mac to log into the Media Account automatically. Set iPhoto to launch on log-in. Then switch to your own account using Fast User Switching.
    Net result: a Library that's permanently available to all users but also protected. Each user can have their own versions of the pics if they want.
    No partitioning, no permissions issues. Uses no extra disk space. What's not to like?
    Regards
    TD

  • HOW TO SHARE MY ITUNES LIBRARY WITH MY WIFE ON SAME IMAC WITH DIFFERENT USER ACCOUNTS AND APPLE ID'S. PLEASE HELP, SOMEBODY!

    I just created an Apple Id for my wife and a user account for her.  We are on the same computer (iMac). I cant for the love of God get my itunes library to show on her user account on computer.  My library shows up under shared library when i select it it just keeps loading and nothing.  When i try the hold down option while opening itunes on her user account and then choose library my library doesnt show up as option.  What in the world am i doing wrong, why is Apple making this so difficult. We are not going to buy separte computers just to share itunes content. Please help.

    You can sync devices with the same iCloud ID, not seperate ones.
    If she has a different login on your Mac, make sure she has her own ID defined in System Prefs > iCloud

  • Need help installing OS on iMac with no OS

    Hi,
    I just bought an iMac G4 15" Flat panel 800 mhz from the University of Wisconsin Madison. They surplus computers often but they have to strip all software off including operating systems. They have reassured me that this one works it just needs to have the OS installed.
    I have a full install family pack for OS X 10.1 (for powermac g4's) and have been trying to install it by holding down the "c" key after the chime. The problem is that the keyboard lights up initially but then it acts dead. I've tested the keyboard with other computers and it works fine. The usb hubs work fine too. I believe it's because it doesn't have an operating system that nothing is registering. I just get the beautiful flashing question mark face. The drive is CD-RW/DVD-Rom and it definitely sounds like it's working. I've gone into open firmware and had to do "eject cd" because the cd won't eject when pressed on the keyboard (because like i said earlier, the keyboard acts dead). this type of iMac doesn't seem to have any way to open the cd other than the keyboard. I'm ultimately going to put Tiger on it since i have a family pack upgrade but i need to get the first OS on before i can do anything. I'm considering using firewire target mode and copying something from one of my other mac's just to get it started.
    If anyone can help, it would be very appreciated! I have searched the discussions and when people have asked how to install the OS respondents simply say "it's probably a stolen computer" or "it probably doesn't work". I know this computer is legit - it came from a computer lab at the UW-Madison. Thank you!!

    "I wasn't trying to install the Powerbook software but the PowerMac software that i use on my G4's. The iMac says it's a Powermac G4 iMac so i thought it would work."
    No, same difference. If those disks are not for the G4 iMac, they will not work.
    I would just wait for the Tiger disks to arrive.
    BTW, if you have less than 512MB of RAM, I would strongly recommend that you upgrade to at least that much. Tiger is a pretty RAM hungry OS and will want at least 512MB.

  • Why would two copies of Lightroom 5 create DNG files with different sizes from the same RAW file? (size is dramatically different, on the order of doubled in size.)

    I have a copy of LIghtroom 5 on my office computer and a personal copy on my home computer. I convert my RAW files to DNG with Lightroom when I import them. Files I shoot for work also get imported on my home workstation. I noticed today that the resulting DNG files for the same RAW image are widely different in size. The ones at home are roughly twice as big as the ones from the office.
    To the best of my knowledge, things are set up the same on both workstations. Any idea what setting might be causing this variation?

    I don't think it's possible to apply lossy compression when importing directly into Lightroom.  I know you can do it with the DNG converter and on export but I don't think this is the case here.
    In which case we need to determine which set-up producing is the "correctly" sized files.  What's the camera and what are the respective file sizes from work and home?

  • How do I standardize page size in a document with different sizes?

    Hopefully this will be an easy question for those of you with more Adobe knowledge than me.  I have a document that someone scanned in with multiple diffent page sizes.  All orientation is portrait, but some are large and others are small.  I find this very distracting when I am trying to flip through it or read.  Is there a way to make all the pages the same size?  Thanks in advance.
    Maxx

    If you have Acrobat, you can try the crop tool. You can use the it to create custom page sizes for all of the pages at once.
