Oh no not another display question but here we go

I bought the new mb and did not really notice the display to be horrible mine I am satisfied with, but yes there is a but. A friend of mine wanted to switch to mac after all kinds of issues with windows another story any way he looked at my display and said this is horrible I asked what is wrong he pointed out that all of the capitol letters are fuzzy at the top and he is correct if you open word or excel or even on web pages they are fuzzy has anyone else noticed this? We went to the apple store to get his new machine the mbp 15" and he looked at them and noticed the very same thing on all of the machines in the store iMacs, mba but not the 17"mbp he looked at my 17" mbp 2.33 and did not see this but it is a matte screen. Does anyone have any idea why it would be on these new screens is it just a glossy screen issue?

I am not sure what you are experiencing, but I believe the pixel pitch on the 17" are lower, therefore resulting in a more smooth display. The pixel pitch, however, is still very low on the 13" compared to other displays, so you would have to sit really close to the screen in order to see each pixel.
Are you new to Mac? If so, it may be the different kind of font smoothing that is in the Mac OS X. They higher correct smoothness instead of readability. I do also prefer the Windows Clear Type font smoothing - at least for smaller fonts. While larger fonts seem to appear nicer in Mac OS X. Also (non-true type) fonts are better smoothed out in Mac OS X.
If you are looking at small font, the font smoothing might be turned off. In order to (almost) deal with the problem, you could lower the font smoothing size in System Preferences under Appearance.

I know.. not another film look question, but here is goes...

Hi all i hope you can help me here.
Im used to doing safety, corporate, induction videos so Ive never been interested in getting the "film look" But now Ive got a music video to do and i really don't want it to look interlaced.
Now i did some test on my HVX200 25p, and read up on it a little. Which brought me to my question.
I know that when shooting with real film cameras AND HD 25p cameras there is the rule not to pan very fast because it becomes jittery. But when i did my tests outside with my HVX200 25p PAL on a tripod (no panning) my footage seem a whole lot more jittery that film movies i see on tv. Its so jittery i cant use the footage! im to scared to do the music video on 25p.
So now i want to know, am i doing something wrong? Is the shutter speed or the way you capture in FCP got anything to do with the jittery? Or is 25p just that jittery?
Another question. Does anybody have some tips to get a better look and feel to my music video? plug ins? or whatever?
Thanks so much for your replies.
Andre Meyer

Hi Meyer,
The reason I said your video still looks jittery is because you have not graded or used any additional adaptors on your cam. Turning on a progressive shutter alone will just make your VIDEO look like 24/25P video! The movement is greatly exaggerated! The point I was trying to make is that once you have graded your footage and if you are lucky enough to use a 35mm adaptor, much of that jitteriness (if that’s a word?!) will not be so noticeable. Remember, if it goes away completely, you are back to square one almost! Its about how acceptable you can get with the 3 components I was talking about in my previous post.
I dont own an HVX200, but I have a V1E (not as good as the HVX200) and I find the cinema Gamma not that great as a default.. I have to tweak it quite a lot to achieve the all important contrast and saturated colours. As for your HVX, just have a play until u get a look u like. The Cinema Gammas on the Cheaper Canons are dreadful and make the cam lose all their contrast! I guess this varies a lot with the mid-priced prosumer cams?!
You don’t need to own a 5D MkII (an ergonomic disaster in my opinion unless u have the full rail kit!) to have that 35mm DOF control. There are quite a few 35mm adaptors out there that have attachments for many types of video cameras. There are users in this forum I think that use these types of adaptors with the HVX200’s. However, such equipment is not cheap.. and of course a good quality stills lens’s are not exactly cheap either!
So to summarise:
1. Use a progressive frame rate 24/25P
2. Colour Grade to film... Best bet is to use Apple Colour... this is a really good colour corrector which has various preset that’s you can tweak and work pretty good as the film look. Of course you will need to experiment to get the effect u want. Alternatively, you can use Magic Bullet Looks.. which can be use used as a Plug-in to FCP, and is like Apple Colour on Steroids! It doesn’t offer the same amount of control as Color, but has some really interesting presets that can be easily tweaked.. and the good things is, this is all done without leaving FCP.. so its quick.
3. If you want to go the whole way and go for a 35mm adaptor.. then do your home work. Do you currently own a select of still lenses? Canon L series or Nikon Pro series? Of course u don’t need the pro lenses, but in this set up the quality of your stills lens becomes really critical! Take a look on YouTube and see the effect these adapter give, they can be quite amazing! Be prepared to spend over £2500 for the adaptor alone!
4. And of course, remember technique when shooting like this.. these adaptors do stop down your camera, you will probably have less light to play with. When u r tracking etc, DOF is really critical and can be difficult to master at first.
I don’t have any 35mm adapter, i try to achieve the film look by using steps 1 and 2..the result, well... its ok but often means I have to mess about with camera distances sometimes to achieve a decent DOF. Swings a roundabouts!

Not sure if I have already posted this question, but here goes.. Wondering why photos taken with my IPhone 5c no longer show up on my IPAD .. Still coming across on IMac .. Settings on IPAD seem to be set correctly .. Any help will be appreciated .. Thank

Test

on all the devices involved, settings, photos and camera - make sure photo stream is on, and make sure you are on the same cloud account, with photos in the clound settings on. you might want to toggle those setting off then back on, in a attempt to reset the condition.

(notation) dont know how to ask this question , but here we go

How do i change the tempo of a song without adjusting the actual tempo?
heres why:
im composing songs in a tempo that sounds great by ear, but i need to decrease each value of each note in half so it can be in a 1/2 time tempo for my musicians to read easier.
if the song sounds great at 100bpm, i want to compose it at 50bpm, so theres not that many rests, and other values harder to read.
the only reason i need to do this is to make it easy to read for my readers, and remember , i can't read notation, just "midi blocks".
sorry about the vague explanation, i just dont have the theory.

Musical scores (which I assume you mean) don't work like that.
There is no 'tempo' value like BPM.
You just play the notes faster or slower - the time notation in musical scores has nothing to do with the 'speed' of the piece. It just tells the musician the 'type' of rhythm or pulse of each bar/section.
This really isn't the place to go into Musical Score theory, but what you are asking doesn;t make any sense because you are comparing apples with pencils.
What I think you are asking is that once you have composed your BPM arrangement then you convert this to a musical notation and that is where your problem is?
If so, and again I am no expert, then simply reduce the BPm of the arrangement and then use the notation from that. Perhaps someone else understand what he is trying to do. After all if you are reading notation, that is all you are doing, reading notation. It's like a book with words, you can read them as slow or as fast as you like. There are no rules except the grammar and that is what the 'time signature' and notation is, just grammar.
Does that make sense or have i really missed the boat here?

(not) another bootcamp question!

Hello,
Well after reading many posts and seeing the repetitive nature of them I find myself reluctant to add to the list...
However... Despite my trawling and repeat attempts keep failing dismally! So appologies in advance at asking what I am sure is a repeat question!
My Aim is to install drivers for camera and sound card for Windows 7.
I have an iMac mid 2007 running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Boot camp v3.04
The steps taken so far is this:
1. Ran apple software update (no results returned)
2. Opened Bootcamp and selected option to install from disc (the option to download drivers returned an error cant remember excatly)
3. Created a partition 200gb
4. Installed windows 7 on partition
Now windows seems to run perfectly with the exception of the sound issue and missing drivers for the camera, peformance counter & usb input device.
The issue I have is I no longer have the Snow Leopard disc, after reading previous posts I have downloaded multiple versions of bootcamp, 3.####, 4.#### & 5.####. When I run the setup.exe it comes back with an error saying "this version of bootcamp is not intended for this computer model"
One thing I have recently read is that in Windows there should be a boot camp icon on the start menu tray, this doesnt seem to be there and when I navigate to unistall programs it isnt there either, could this be a potential sign/issue?
So anyway, I am looking for some kind of a solution to the problem, if anybody can help?,

Well, I have now managed to succeed and thought I would share the simple solution with anybody that may be having a similar issue.
This page will help identify what version of bootcamp to download:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
It will also take you to the download page so you get the correct verision in my case 4.4033, run the installer and it should install drivers for everything!

Oh No! Not Another Openbox Question

I want to change the Window type of a couple of applications so that they aren't affected by pressing the "show desktop" icon on my fbpanel. Also I have xcompmgr running and I'd like the applications to not have drop shadows so that they integrate better into the background.
The applications in question are gdeskcal and cairo-clock. Both are type normal.

If you want some apps not to have shadows, that's an xcompmgr issue. Openbox has nothing to do with it.
As for your first question, did you check the Openbox documentation to see if there is anything that Openbox provides in that sense? If you don't find it there (it's fairly exhaustive), then I'm afraid that's not Openbox either that is gonna be able to do that.

Probably a stupid question but here goes....

Hello all,
Interested in Airport Time Capsule for backing up my iMac and MacBook and MacBook Pro. Can this product replace the current wireless router? As in I currently have an orange livebox for my broadband and can I get rid of this and use this as my dial up box?
Thanks!

The Airport Time Capsule does function as a wireless router.
However, the Airport Time Capsule does NOT have a built in DSL modem.
Your Orange Livebox does have a built in DSL modem.
Therefore - no - you cannot replace your Orange Livebox with an Airport Time Capsule. What you can do is cable the Airport Time Capsule to the ethernet port on your Orange LiveBox.

Another DVD question, but a little different

Is there anyway to get just a certain chapter of a DVD onto an iPod?

I use Handbrake (not available for Windows yet) or alternatively you could use quicktime pro
800 MHz PowerPC G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4) NEC DVD_RW ND-4550A - 30gb Ipod Video

This is not really a question but just a highlight. I have been for 20 minutes on the phone through the express lane support and I have been told that iCloud DO NOT stores music or video and cannot be used to pushes any music you bought through iTunes !

I have been amazed from the Express Lane support. I have been asking information about how to store/push my iTunes music in the iCloud. The answer has been that iCloud DO NOT stores you iTunes music at all !!!!! Is this real ?
I am Mobileme user since the beginning and just bought OS X Lion and all necessary software to maximise the use of iCloud and now I have to discover that what has been advertised for months on the web is just ballsheets.

Wow! It took you 3 week to come up with that ridiculous response?
Since I don't have access to the 11/13 web pages (my time machine is out of order), I can't provide that. However you know full well that iTunes Match has been live for the last 3 weeks, and it isn't "ballsheets."
As far as the "gift you may have to spend too much time on internet", it took you far longer to compose and post your whining rant that it would have if you just searched it with Google and got your own answer...

HT204053 Naive question I know but here goes. One apple ID, multiple apple IOS devices (touch/pad/phone). Books purchased via Kindle sync to ALL devices via iCloud. How can I stop this? I want to separate each of the family's reading prefernces from the d

Naive question but here goes.
As a family we have one Apple ID. All devices are synced via my PC and backed up to it rather than to iCloud.
Books purchased via Kindle App appear on all the devices within the "cloud" option. How do I separate each reader's prefernce to their own device? I want to make sure that the younger one's dont have access to anything unsuitable.
Thanks.

You can have one AppleID for your purchases so that all teh devices can use all the apps without having to buy them again, and at the same time, have different iCloud accounts for each user so that their content is not intermingled with everyone else's. You can even go so far as to have your iCloud Account enabled for "Find my iPhone" for each of the other devices allowing you to keep track of where tehy are when they get misplaced.
If you need/want, you can share iCloud Calendars between different iCloud accounts as well. This is exactly what my wife & I have done. We share calendars so I know when she has classes or dog competitions, and she can see my work schedule so she knows what nights I have to be in late, etc.

I want to use my apple TV as a second monitor not a mirrored one, in other words, I want to use my TV as a second screen not a copy of my first screen,other people have asked this question but have been given mirroring answers. I want a second display.

I want to use my apple TV as a second monitor not a mirrored one, in other words, I want to use my TV as a second screen not a copy of my first screen,other people have asked this question but have been given mirroring answers so I am spelling it out here very specifically. I want a second display. This should be possible and would be awesome. Anyone know how to do this?

Nevermind I just installed it to try it and it's awesome, so happy right now, Thanks. All the things I had read about it on third party sites led me to believe it could not do extended desk tops, thanks for your help!

I need to reset my security questions, but can I message support by text and not call or if you can tell me how to reset my questions here that will be great and I don't have a rescue email.

If you've forgotten the answers, you can't do that yourself. Click here, tell the iTunes Store staff that you can't call, and see what they say.

Graph image not getting displayed when navigating from another page

Hi All,
I have implemented a line graph in ADF with "dept no"(in x-axis) and "avg sal"(in y-axis). When I am going to run only this graph page, its showing proper data.
But,when I am trying to navigate from another jspx page (which is under some package) to this graph page, the graph is not getting displayed(graph image is not getting displayed).
In my project I am following package structure for jspx and backing bean.
Please help me to solve this problem.
Thnx,
Abhijit

Abhijit,

I live in pakistan and i downloaded ibooks from the apps store and it's good but here's the catch i can only download free books from the ibooks store not the one's that have to be paid what should i do?

I live in pakisan and i downloaded ibooks and it's pretty awsoem but here's the catch it doesnt download books that r to be paid for but it does download the free ones. My cousin came frm the usa (she also has an iphone) and she didnt knew what to do she said that it works fine like her does but cant download the the books that r not free and doesnt even shows the books except for the free ones.

No, we told you why you could get the paid books in the Pakistani iTunes Store; because Apple has not been able to obtain the rights to sell them there. There is no "fix", in Settings or anywhere else, to that problem. You cannot purchase paid iBooks in Pakistan, and you cannot use another country's iTunes Store.
You did not ask any other questions that I can see.
And you're being a bit rude in your replies, though perhaps that is due to an incomplete mastery of English and not intended to be impolite.

Oh no not another display question but here we go
