New iMac user needs pointing in the right direction

Hi all
Having used PC's for all of my life I have now converted to a Mac.
I have bought my new Applie iMac MC309B/A (Intel Core i5) http://tinyurl.com/5wddgf3
At the sametime I also bought an iPad 2 16gig (wifi only), also a Magic Trackpad and was also give £50 worth of accessories so got an iPad 2 dock and case, and to keep my other half happy I bought her a dishwasher (I'm so kind!!)
Anyway as I said at the start I am new to all this and having a little play before work I kinds struggled to understand what to do.
Its there an idiots guide I can use or one recommend?
I would like to stream films from my external hard drives to my tv. Now I do have a phat ps3 (with the memory card slot)
Could I stream them from the imac/external hard drive to the PS3?
Is it easy to setup?
Or would I be better off getting Apple TV?
Thanks
Ric

No prob Ric, solve your question?
As for starting up with the new Mac, congrats on making the switch, here's a place to start: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2054
There are books for dummies, manuals in the box that you bought the Mac with, YouTube tutorials even. There's a limitless supply on the web!

  • EXC_BAD_ACCESS - sample code - just need pointing in the right direction

    Hi all
    I've been trying to add groupins and a floating A-Z listing to my UITableView.
    I found a great article on the web but the setup of my code differs slightly (probably because I got some of the architecture wrong to start with!).
    Anyhow, I'm getting an EXCBADACCESS error on the following code at this line
    NSArray *tempAuthors = [dictionary objectForKey:@"Authors"];
    Here's the full function...
    -(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tv numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
    NavControllerAppDelegate *appDelegate = (NavControllerAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
    NSDictionary *dictionary = [appDelegate.authors objectAtIndex:section];
    NSArray *tempAuthors = [dictionary objectForKey:@"Authors"];
    return [tempAuthors count];
    appDelegate.authors is declared in the interface as follows:-
    NSMutableArray *authors;
    @property (nonatomic, retain) NSMutableArray *manufacturers;
    ...and then in the implementation:-
    @synthesize authors;
    I don't fully understand what the @synthesize or @property does so maybe I've done something wrong here?
    Any help much appreciated.
    Regards
    Wayne

    Hi Eric
    Here's what I've been able to figure out.
    "authors" is a NSMutableArray declared in my AppDelegate. I successfully fill this with NSDictionary objects via a method in the AppDelegate. Each Dictionary object contains the key and the value of each is set to another NSMutableArray of "author" objects.
    Using the debugger I can step through and watch the initial "authors" array being built and I can see that at the end of the code it contains 21 objects of type NSDictionary - all good so far.
    My code then moves to a UITableViewController where the "numberOfRowsInSection" code is called.
    This is where the trouble begins. Stepping through the dbugger once more I can now see that my original "authors" array (which is exposed from the appDelegate as a property) still contains 21 objects however they are now of differing types!!!
    Some are still NSDictionary objects but some are wrongly showing as NSObjects - the NSObject ones also have "invalid" in the summary field of the debugger window.
    Somehow, the objects which were all created in the same way (via a loop through a database set of records) and added to the "authors" array in the same fashion are now not the same...***?!
    Obviously I'm a bit new to all of this but what strikes me is the randomness of the objects in the array which are no longer of the correct type.
    btw, let me know what code you would like to see and I shall post it.
    Regards

  • Need to be pointed in the right direction for buttons

    Hello,
       I'm trying to figure out if this can be done.    Lets say you have 3 buttons on a web page.  When you hit one of the 3 buttons, text appears and locks on the page.  Each button has different texts that appears and locks.  No matter what order a person hits a button. The texts for that button appears.
       I'm not sure how to do this.  I know how to link buttons and send it to different parts of the timeline, just don't know how this would work.
    any help to be pointed in the right direction would be great.
         Thanks in advance,
            Peter

    Hi Ned,
            If I make a movie clip for each button (3 total) and each button has its own text.  If I have all three layers on top of each other it will play all the text at once.  That something I don't want.  If I spread the layers so there not on top of each other.  I can code it to have the text appear when the button is press but, only one set of text will appear at a time.  What I would like is once the button is pressed and the text fades in it locks in place.  If you press another button, that button texts fades in and locks.  The text from the other button stays locked
           Other Idea I had was when your working with buttons, and double click on it to get the "up-over-down-hit" on the timeline.  on the over part, I know how to put text in that way.  is there a way to lock it once the mouse goes on the "over" part of the button ????
       Thanks,
         Peter

  • Can someone point in the right direction for how to make a multiplayer game over the internet

    Hello,
    I am looking into making a game where two people who can be in different places would log on to the app, log in and can play - i.e. they would be connected over the internet. I'm looking for a hint on what is the direction to take and which technologies.
    For example is there a best practice for example if you make an app with DirectX and C++, and you use some kind of web service or something? or is it easier using C# and XNA? just looking for some pointers in the right direction. I have played around
    with DirectX, far from proficient but have familiarity, I have no experience with XNA but hear it's less hardcore and easier going. I'm particularly interested in what the best way to connect over the internet.
    Thanks

    What you are asking is very complicated and one of the more difficult things you can do in gaming. I'd strongly recommend you start smaller to learn and then move up to multi-player games as your skills grow.
    From the multiplayer client perspective it doesn't really matter which technology you use. You can write a multiplayer game in any engine or technology that can talk to the network. Choose the client technology that you are most adept at and interested in
    and learn it. You can go straight to DX, use a third party library such as Monogame (XNA isn't supported for Windows Store apps), or a complete game engine such as Unity. Once you can write a decent one-player game you'll have the foundation to start on to
    build a two-player game.
    At that point you'll need to define the problem much more specifically. As you state it, it is really wide open. How do you want the users to connect? Directly machine to machine? Matched through a web server but running client side? Connecting to a game
    running on a remote server? Something else?
    The network connection itself is probably fairly straightforward, but where to connect and how to manage that can be difficult. You'll have to decide what properties you want. Is this an action game where responsiveness is important or
    a turn based game where timing is less relevant?
    Are the players connecting locally or completely remotely? If the former then they can probably connect directly over the local network (NFC is great here). If the latter then they probably will need to connect to a matchmaker service to avoid firewalls.
    This can get very complex, but there are existing solutions you can use rather than writing your own.

  • New mac user need to change the main account name

    Hi....I bought a used imac to try before switching to mac.....I liked it and ordered a new imac....when first booting, it gave me the option to migrate from my old imac via firewire, which I did....
    The new imac now has the previous owner's name as the primary user which shows up as the little house symbol under the places column in finder.....I've previously set up my own name as another user but I can't seem to find a way to get rid of his name and get mine in there....
    I like the macs but sorely miss my right-click button BTW.....

    Choose Log Out from the Apple menu, log in with your account, and then use the Accounts pane of System Preferences to change the automatic login setting, and if desired, delete the migrated account.

  • Need help being pointed in the right directi

    I have been out of the computer game for a number of years and with the advances, I think I am having trouble understanding what sound cards are capable of these days.
    What I am wanting to do is hook up my sound card to a reciever, which I'm assuming I'd need rca outputs, or directly hook up speakers to the sound card. What I would like to do is use stereo speakers (the big ones) and maybe even possibly have a bass connection if that is at all possible. I think this is 2.
    I'm pretty lost. I know stereo speakers are hooked up by wire, and not a plug connection.

    Hey!? so if you are purchasing a new sound card, there are basically a few options you can do:
    - If you are connecting your sound card to a receiver, there are a few sound cards that have optical outputs (such as the x-fi titanium) where you get a digital signal from your card, to the receiver. make sure your receiver has an optical input (sometimes called toslink)? That will give you the easiest (in my opinion) connection for "digital".
    - Some older cards have a digital out from a miniplug connection (like a headphone jack) that will then go to your receiver and go into a "component in" receptacle - which is usually orange in color and looks like a single RCA connector alone. this is also "digital" and not "analog".
    - RCA is the easiest analog connection to a receiver. Basically, you need a RCA cord that on one side has the red and white connectors, and on the other side, it looks like a headphone jack, called miniplug. you would plug the "miniplug" into your sound card in the back, and then the RCA side to the rear of the receiver. that will give you stereo sound. the Subwoofer or bass connection would come from your receiver which takes care of it. ?
    The digital connection is primarily if you want surround sound. think like 5. or 7. Sounds like you just want 2. sound (2 speakers and . for the subwoofer)? I would just go with the analog connection and get the hybrid RCA cable. ?
    Hopefully this helps and its not too complicated. ?

  • New FCP user trying to learn the correct project and export settings for HD

    Hi, I am a novice and have used FCP on my laptop for university projects only, and now have been asked to cut a trailer for a 7 min HD Pilot.
    A. I had to work in a different part of the country for the last 2 weeks therefore making this more problematic for myself long term hence:
    B. I have only been given a QT file of the pilot, as to cut a rough idea of the trailer, which I will then have to redo with the original HD files, when I return to them tomorrow.
    C. I created a low res QT to work with in FCP and have probably set up my project in a odd/wrong way and need to export this DV low res version for viewing by tomorrow, and I would ideally like it to look like the right aspect ratio and what not.
    I know very little about ratios and interlaced and progressive files, and this project has been shot manly on a digital SLR camera for the animation, it has After Effects files and with sections of live action which I think was shot in HD 'i' mode.
    I would like to learn quickly the sort of setup I should have for this kind of project, how I should export this low res DV version for viewing and for exporting the final HD project with what settings I should use.
    I am sure I should have detailed more information, but as it is im not sure what is relevant. I can find out if im pointed in the right direction.
    Hope someone can help
    Cheers
    Kat

    B. I have only been given a QT file of the pilot, as to cut a rough idea of the trailer, which I will then have to redo with the original HD files, when I return to them tomorrow.
    Well, this will make cutting more difficult. Because a low res version of the trailer will not have any timecode...nothing that references the main movie. So you will do the cut with the QT movie and then have to go back and eyematch-cut the trailer with the high res footage. Not fun and very time consuming. Not to mention that you will be cutting with the mixed audio of the trailer, including music and that will not sound right when you cut the trailer with the new music.
    You need a QT version of the movie that contains the timecode of the original master (using media Manager to recompress to DV or other offline codec will do this), and you REALLY need to get split track audio. If they are record producers, they'll know what that is.

  • Need advise about new computer (OS Win8.1) to run CS6 - please point me in the right direction  Thanks

    Question:  Need advise about new computer (OS Win8.1) to run CS6 - please point me in the right direction  Thanks

    OSX comes with Xcode. Install it and see what you think. You can write both Java and Objective-C. They both have a particular syntax that is quite different from VB. Try to use them to write a HelloWorld program and see what you think.
    Apple has come a long way in integrating Java into their development environment. Still, it was designed around Objective-C, so that might be more of a "pure" MacOS X development experience.

  • New iMac user, can you use a fan to cool the back?

    Hi everone,
    I'm a new iMac user, a new mac user full stop. I recently was given one for college because I'm dyslexic so I recived one to help with college work. I'm a P.C girl mostly so i'm very new to this system, but we do use these at college thou I avoided them like the plauge because I just didn't know how to use them.
    ANYWAYS....I noticed that the back get's very hot, my desk is by the window of my room because it gets a little hot in my room at time's and I know my P.C would heat but so the window it was.
    i was wondering if used an external fan behind the mac might help with the temp, nothing big just a small fan for the back of the computer like the one's you use in an office but allot smaller? is this a good idea or not?
    thank you for takeing the time to read my post, I did read the other about hot mac's but it didn't have the answer I was looking for.
    Cap'Pixie xox

    Just be sure it's fixed low enough to be aimed upwards. That way it won't prevent the hot air escaping from the upper exhaust by blowing it back in. It will be blowing dust around too, so keep the area as dust free as possible. Whether I need to run this fan depends on the intenal temps and how hot the back feels. But can aid considerably in cooling. Get iStat Pro.

  • I need better performance from my computer. Could someone point me in the right direction?

    I do a lot of video editing for work. I am currently using the Creative Cloud, and the programs I use most frequently are Premiere Pro CS6, Photoshop CS6, and Encore. My issue is that when I am rendering video in Premiere Pro, and most importantly, transcoding in Encore for BluRay discs, I am getting severe lag from my computer. It basically uses the majority of my computer's resources and doesn't allow me to do much else. This means, that I can't do other work while stuff is rendering or transcoding. I had this computer built specifically for video editing and need to know which direction to go in for an upgrade to get some better performance, and allow me to do other work.
    For the record, I do have MPE: GPU Acceleration turned ON, and I have 12GBs of RAM alloted for Adobe in Premiere Pro's settings, and 4GBs left for "other".
    Here is my computer:
    - Dell Precision T7600
    - Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit
    - DUAL Intel Xeon CPU E-2620 - 2.0GHz 6-core Processors
    - 16GBs of RAM
    - 256GB SSD as my primary drive. This is where the majority of my work is performed.
    - Three 2TB secondary drives in a RAID5 configuration. This is solely for backing up data after I have worked on it. I don't really use this to work off of.
    - nVidia Quadro 4000 2GB video card
    When I am rendering or transcoding, my processor(s) performance fluctuates between 50%-70%, with all 12 cores active and being used. My physical memory is basically ALL used up while this is happening.
    Here is where I am at on the issue. I put in a request for more RAM (32GBs), this way I can allot around 25GBs of RAM to the Adobe suite, leaving more than enough to do other things. I was told that this was not the right direction to go in. I was told that since my CPUs are working around 50-70%, it means that my video card isn't pulling enough weight. I was told that the first step in upgrading this machine that we should take, is to replace my 2GB video card with a 4GB video card, and that will fix these performance issues that I am having, not RAM.
    This is the first machine that has been built over here for this purpose, so it is a learning process for us. I was hoping someone here could give a little insight to my situation.
    Thanks for any help.

    You have a couple of issues with this system:
    Slow E5-2620's. You would be much better off with E5-2687W's
    Limited memory. 32 GB is around bare minimum for a dual processor system.
    Outdated Quadro 4000 card, which is very slow in comparison to newer cards and is generally not used when transcoding.
    Far insufficient disk setup. You need way more disks.
    A software raid5 carries a lot of overhead.
    The crippled BIOS of Dell does not allow overclocking.
    The SSD may suffer from severe 'stable state' performance degradation, reducing performance even more.
    You would not be the first to leave a Dell in the configuration it came in. If that is the case, you need a lot of tuning to get it to run decently.
    Second thing to consider is what source material are you transcoding to what destination format? If you start with AVCHD material and your destination is MPEG2-DVD, the internal workings of PR may look like this:
    Convert AVCHD material to an internal intermediate, which is solely CPU bound. No GPU involvement.
    Rescale the internal intermediate to DVD dimensions, which is MPE accelerated, so heavy GPU involvement.
    Adjust the frame rate from 29.97 to 23.976, which again is MPE accelerated, so GPU bound.
    Recode the rescaled and frame-blended internal intermediate to MPEG2-DVD codec, which is again solely CPU bound.
    Apply effects to the MPEG2-DVD encoded material, which can be CPU bound for non-accelerated effects and GPU bound for accelerated effects.
    Write the end result to disk, which is disk performance related.
    If you export AVCHD to H.264-BR the GPU is out of the game altogether, since all transcoding is purely CPU based, assuming there is no frame blending going on. Then all the limitations of the Dell show up, as you noticed.

  • Can't back-up new iMac with fusion HD.  The back-up proceeds to within 10% of the total storage needed and then the "of" number increases.  I suspect there is a problem with backing up the fusion drive.  We have a new 3 TB time Capsule.  Any ideas?

    Can't back-up new iMac with fusion HD.  The back-up proceeds to within 10% of the total storage needed and then the "of" number increases.  I suspect there is a problem with backing up the fusion drive.  We have a new 3 TB time Capsule.  I tried excluding different parts of the software from the back-up but it didn't make any difference.  I even tried exluding "invisible items" to no avail.  Any ideas?

    When you setup the wireless and ethernet in the computer.. ipv6 will be on automatic.. this is wrong for the latest TC firmware and airport utility. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4597
    Go to the wireless and ethernet setup in preferences and change ipv6 to link local.
    Once you do the big backup by ethernet the wireless will function fine for incremental.. it is obviously not estimating the size correctly..
    A full back-up on the iMac would be about 650 GB.  The partial updates that I have been trying start out at 115MB and keep growing indefinitely.  The original back-up never finished nor have any of the follow-up attempts.
    The first estimate should be the full backup but it will keep growing as the backup advances.. I would also delete any inprogress files to make sure it is not messing up .. delete even a sparsebundle if there is one for the imac on the TC and start afresh once you have ethernet connection.
    See A10 here.
    Pondini may have some other clues there to give you an idea of why the backup is slow or not finishing.. there is a lot of issues with TM when it decides not to work.

    I have Final Cut Studio V1 - the PPC/Intel V5/5.1 cross-grade version, which would suit your requirements perfectly. (I have it for sale at present down here).
    If you keep looking, you're sure to find a similar second hand copy in your area, without the need to upgrade your graphics card.
    I'd go for Final Cut Pro as above over any version of Express. FCP has the full version of LiveType - not the truncated version that was released later on.
