Out of date skills & Software; help!

My skills and software are so out of date. I used to do Graphic & Web Desigin; & now would like to update my skills and software. I can't decide which route to go. Are there any good online classes, or should I register at the Community College (but unfortunately all the classes are full already). If there are good tutorials out there, or online courses, please let me know. Also where can I find discounted software. I'd like a class on InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, and web design. Please help if you can!
Thanks!

I've got some book recommendations, broken down by application here: http://www.theindesignguy.com/indesign-book-recommendations.shtml
For video training, Lynda.com, at $25/month is a bargain.
You'll need to be enrolled in a qualifying school with enough credits to qualify for student pricing. I don't think one class will do it.

You need to upgrade OS X in order to upgrade Safari.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.

Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    OS X Mavericks/Yosemite- System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later

Out of Date Quicktime Software

Whenever Quicktime loads (via iTunes, one of my son's computer games, etc.) I get an error window that reads:
"Some of your QuickTime software is out of date. You can fix this problem by updating to the latest version." I can click "cancel" or "Do It Now", but every time I click on "Do It Now" I get the following error "Information Received from the QuickTime server is invalid. Please try again later."
Once I got it to get me to an install screen and it ran fine, but then I had this problem again. I've removed Quicktime, installed the latest version, and when I run Quicktime and ask it to look for updates, it says I'm up to date.
Any thoughts?

Did you ever figure this out? It is driving me insane.....

I bought a product i can't even use and i'm getting very fustrated and mad. ive been trying to fix this problem for days! please help me!

Hi, I have a new (second hand from vodafone) iPhone 3G which I am trying to sync to iTunes but iTunes is not even recognising it. I've updated iTunes to the latest and sorted out my antivirus software which was out of date. Pls help!

iTunes yesterday got halfway through a sync (it did recognise it for a short time) but today, since the upgraded iTunes, it won't even recognise the phone. I have tried using iTunes' diagnostics and the device tests say that no iphone, ipod or ipad can be found. I have so many tunes on iTunes that I am worried i will lose.
My last iPhone was my first and was synced up fine with my laptop.
Please can someone help me/? I'm on a Samsung NC10 which admittedly I haven't used for a long time, but would really like my music on my iPhone. Thanks for any help.

That would be the wireless number assigned by AT&T when the purchaser of the iPhone signed up as a customer with AT&T. If neither you nor your uncle ever activated the iPhone with AT&T, click the "non customer" button.
Note that jailbreaking often renders it impossible to get an iPhone officially unlocked, so don't be surprised if it fails. If it does, then you may have to buy a new iPhone, this time one that is officially unlocked.
Regards.

HELP! Today's upgrade wiped out patient data! PLEASE HELP!

Please help... installed whatever was "new" today... just went to iCal to check my patients for tomorrow and... it's all gone!
The "new" iCal is arranged differently too... on my "calendars" I now have at least 2 if not 3 of every calendar I've ever created (yet none of them have the lost data). Have tried going back to IMPORT and/or RESTORE data and... it either hangs up or there's nothing to select (it's grayed out and the CHOOSE button never illuminates).
As a practicing psychologist I've now lost ALL my patient information, past and present! PLEASE HELP!
Thanks.
Dr. Peterson

Hope this helps. (and always have a backup file ready for a pull of any archived library files if any data is lost on an upgrade)

My iMac PowerPC G4 will not connect to my Belkin N router. I have not been able to connect for so long that I actually gave up on this computer until today, so it is a little out of date software wise. It is running OS 10.3.9.

First off i apoligize for the title length, a bit new to help forums and didnt realize thats what that was .
Anyways;
My iMac PowerPC has been having this issue for quite a few years, prompting me to flat out replace it. I recently had a friend come to need a computer, and told them they could have it once i got it working.
The unfortunate problem that i luckily discovered: my friend and i use the same brand / model of Router, the Belkin N+ (N plus incase it removes the plus sign like it did in the title).
Ive tried everything i know, which isnt much. I've verified the password is correct, ive restarted the computer, and ive restarted my modem and router. Nothing works.
I should mention also that the computer is out of date program wise (obviously) since i havent been able to connect with it in so long. I am still using Internet Connect, and the computer still gives me the option to try .Mac.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Dean

The router is much, much newer than the computer, perhaps some characteristic of the WiFi network as it's currently setup is preventing the computer from connecting.
Try to go back to the basics: set your WiFi network to "b" mode only (i.e., turn off "g") and termporarily remove the password from it. See if the computer will at least establish a connection at that point. Then start turning on one thing at a time ("g" mode, then security, etc).
Not sure what format your WEP key is, but if it's not 10 characters (the minimum for the standard, which constitutes a 64-bit key), you can try making it that long. If it's 13 or 26 characters, it might be a higher encryption than the computer can support.
If all else fails, you could try looking on ebay/craigslist for a copy of Tiger to install on the iMac, which would have software support for more WiFi encryption schemes. Also, it would provide software support for USB WiFi adapters that would also be able to connect to more modern networks.

Error message "some of your quicktime software is out of date...."

After about 8 hrs of troubleshooting so far I need help here...please...I have a new ipod touch 3g (32gb) that requires itunes-9 and i have itunes-8. when i try to load itunes-9 i get the same error message about apx. half way thru the install. at the point of install status "initializing quicktime types" the error message comes up: "some of your quicktime software is out of date, You can fix this problem by updating to the latest version" with the choice to "cancell" or "do it now" and I have tried "do it now" many times and other times tried cancell but either way it just ends up coming back many times with the same error message and either freezes the computer or eventually after maybe 15-20 error messages stops but the unstall is frozen. I have already tried uninstalling quicktime, itues, etc and spent 1.5 hours on the phone with Apple support and they can't figure it out. Please help...I appreciate your support.

Some other application may have installed older QuickTime componentry on the PC.
First let's have a closer look in your \system32\ to see if we can find any misplaced componentry down there.
First, in My Computer go "Tools > Folder Options". Click the "View" tab. Make sure "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and that "Hide extensions for known file types" is unchecked. OK out of the Tab.
Now navigate to C:\Windows\system32\. (It might be easiest to switch to "List" view at this point.)
What files or folders can you see in \system32\ with QuickTime in the title?
(On a PC with a standard QuickTime installation, you should see precisely two files:
QuickTime.qts
QuickTimeVR.qtx
... and no Quicktime folders whatsoever.)

"Some of your quicktime software is out of date" Message

Hi,
I have a problem with quicktime for which I would like advice. The symptom is that each time quicktime is loaded or accessed, there is a pop-up message box which says,"Some of your quicktime software is out of date. You can fix this problem by updating to the latest version." There's a cancel button, which I use nearly every time, and a "Do It Now" button. Note that I am running the latest version of quicktime.
When I use the "Do It Now" button, I get an error message pop-up which says,"Information obtained from the Quicktime server is invalid. Please try again later." I don't use quicktime stand alone for anything, so I don't really know if it's working OK. It seems to be, but I've not done a thorough testing. The dominant symptom is in iTunes, where I experience lock-ups. I spoke with an Apple technical support person for a while about it, and we (re)did the compulsory uninstall, reinstall stuff to no avail.
The Apple guy pointed me to an Apple website detailing some methods to fix various problems with iTunes/quicktime. (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976) I have tried everything there. One of the things was an experiment to try to detect interactions with other programs. Using MSCONFIG, I did a custom start-up which enabled nothing but quicktime. No change. I have removed (ctrl-panel->add/remove programs...) many of the programs which were installed. No change.
Questions/Comments?
Thanks for any info,
jimmBob

I just got off the phone with an Apple technician, and we solved the error problem. Basically we just went through my whole computer searching for all quicktime and iTunes files that were left behind. Be sure to check your C: > Windows > System32 folder for ANY and ALL QuickTime files. The files we found that caused the error were hidden in a filed titled "quicktime" in the System32 folder. Make sure you delete it, uninstall all iTunes and QuickTime programs (including Apple Software Update and Apple Mobile Device Support) from the Control Panel, and reinstall the latest files for iTunes and QuickTime and the error should go away.
Hope this helps!

Help please: DAQWare or data logging software (multichannel data capture) questions

I am writing regarding DAQWare, data logging software, and the PC-LPM-16
board, which a group of us a trying to come to grips with. This is rather
lengthy, I'm afraid...
We are a group of college students in a computer programmer/analyst
program. We have a course that involves doing a project to go through the
software development lifecycle (or as much of it as can be done in a term).
For our project we teamed up with a group in the industrial hygiene
program; they have a computer (standalone) with a PC-LPM-16 (PnP) DAQ board
and the NI-DAQ software (all of this has been around for a few years, but
has not been used much), and our goal was to capture the data they are
measuring (atmospheric pollutants) to an Microsoft Access database.
We are not familiar with DAQ systems, but were shown the software they had
installed. This included DAQWare (appears to be version 2.0). We thought
we could use DAQWare to log data to a text file, which we then would import
into the Access database. We came up with VBA code to parse the ASCII text
file created, but have run into one problem: DAQWare does not timestamp
each sample, but only puts a single timestamp in the header information.
Now we could extrapolate the time for each line based on the sample rate,
except that sometimes it seems to put in 8 values per sample, sometimes 12
values. For instance, in the sample of a text file below, the capture was
run for 1 minute at a sample rate of 60, and there were 480 measurements in
the file, or 8 lines of measurements per sample. (At a sample rate of 100,
we got 800 measurements in the file etc.) This was two weeks ago. Today,
we returned to capture more data, and DAQWare was logging 12 measurements
per sample (so at a sample rate of 100, we ended up with 1200 lines of
measurements). We do not know where this factor of 8 or 12 is coming from
or how it got changed in the two weeks between captures. We would like to
be able to have them just run DAQWare, for days on end if they wanted,
capture the data to file, then use our code to parse the text file into the
database, but if we cannot put timestamps on the readings, there seems no
point.
*** Example of a capture below... ***
DAQWare File
Version: 2.0
Number of Lines in Header: 10
Comment:
Date: 10-18-1999 Time: 10:01:39

0.537 0.276 0.264 -0.007 0.015
*** and so on... ***
Regarding this attempt to use DAQWare:
1. Can you tell us where this factor (8 or 12 or however many more readings
than we would expect) means, where it is read from or set?
2. Is there an updated version of DAQWare that we should download that
would be better?
3. Is there some other existing software that we can download to use to
perform basic logging of multichannel analog input to a text file (with
timestamp)?
I realise that the software comes with tools (DLL functions) that one can
use to create custom software to interface with the DAQ board, but in the
limited amount of time we have we are not sure we can learn enough about
these functions to write our own datalogging software.
However, to see if I could grasp the basics, I have looked through the
examples for Visual Basic and think that a program would run something like
this:
1. at the beginning, use LPM16_Calibrate to reset the board
2. configure acquisition with DAQ_Config
3. start acquisition with Lab_ISCAN_Start
4. loop to check is acquisition done with Lab_ISCAN_Check
5. once sampling done, write data out to file
6. loop back up to 3 to get next lot of samples
Unfortunately, a sample app using Access and VBA I created came back with
an error telling me it could not find nidaq.dll (even though this is in the
Windows system directory); probably it is not a good idea to try to do this
in Access in the first place. I am going to have a go using Delphi, which
I know a bit better.
One thing I am unsure of is what the numbers will be coming out of
Lab_ISCAN; the reference file seems to indicate they will be binary
readings, not voltages, and I wonder how to correlate these with instrument
measurements (the instrumentation people we going to set it up so that
1mV=1ppm).
Any help you can give to point us in the right direction would be
appreciated.

"Some of your Quicktime software is out of date" popup

I must have had an earlier version of quicktime installed on my computer, but I have updated to 7.2, all the patches etc.. And I get this error. I have gone as far as uninstalling all Apple components, deleting all refrences to Quiktime in the regtistry and reinstalling. The same messgae comes up in two seperate popups. The annoyance level in unbeliveable. Any assistance getting rid of these would be appreciated. I saw the question posted on the forum for an earlier release of QT and the fix was to patch it. I have even upgraded to PRO in an effort to get more support for this issue. Any assistance would be great.

I also am plagued with this problem. In case it helps anyone to diagnose this issue, here is how it started on my computer. It showed up immediately after installing Kid Pix Deluxe 3. During the install, the Kid Pix software said that I needed to install Quicktime to run the program. Since I already had the latest iTunes/Quicktime softare (v7.4), I chose not to install it (the Kid Pix CD had Quicktime 5). When I restarted my computer, it immediately brought up the "Some of your Quicktime software is out of date..." dialog box. Ever since, programs that access Quicktime in some way cause the "...out of date..." dialog to appear. As of yet I have not seen any solution that works; the recommendations to uncheck Flash files in the MIME settings and to uncheck automatic updates did not work for me. Uninstalling Kid Pix and repairing my Quicktime and iTunes installation do not fix the problem either. I have not tried completely uninstalling and then reinstalling Quicktime and iTunes.

Installing ARD on MacBookPro " Software out of date ???"

Hi all,
I've replaced my powerbook with a new MacBookPro and I want to install ARD 2.2 that I bought earlier this year. However, it won't start up and I get a message saying that the software is out of date and to run the software update. I installed the 2.2 updater but still , no joy. Can anybody help me with this please ? Thanks Norman
MacBookPro Mac OS X (10.4.6) iMac G5, Powerbook G4's, G4, G3, powermac...etc

You need to set the Rosetta checkbox, but not enable the ARD client in System Preferences.
If the ARD client is enabled in the System Preferences it will get launched when the machine is booted up, and in that scenario it does NOT launch under Rosetta (you can verify this by looking at it in Activity Monitor).
