Pin Art

I'm looking to replicate cylinders moving back and forth, similar to the retro pin art toys you used to get in gadget shops. The cylinders will make up both type and image. What would be the best approach to get me started?
Any help greatly appreciated

Can the iphone maps display more than one pin at the same time?

For example, on a recent trip to New York I preloaded bookmarks of all the places I wanted to visit into the iPhone Maps. I then wanted to see where they all were in relation to one another so I could decide which one to go to next (MOMA, Guggenheim, Metroplitan Museum of Art for example). Is it possible to have the map display them all at the same time?

Are you sure about that Andrew. I see no option to toggle on all my bookmarked pins. I can pick one to show and it shows up. But if I pick another, the previous one will go away. Only doing a search for stuff in an area will Google Maps show multiple pins, but I see no way of making all your saved bookmarks show up.
Did it on mine just now but I also did a very small location here in Sacramento. Dropped a pin in 1 city, Bookmarked, Dropped a few others and bookmarked at least 6 cities in the general Sacramento area, zoomed out just a bit and saw 6 red Pins. Which are all bookmarked.
If I could snap a photo of my screen I would post it.

A good art app/program manager?

I am a graphic designer and I need a good app or program to orangize my art files.
I have searched and not coming up with anything.
Anyone have any recs? Application or program that they use?
I would say that over 75% of my art work are vector (eps) files.
thanks!!!

New Iphone 4 factory unlocked: "No SIM" "Insert Valid SIM with no pin lock"

Hi, I'm new in the forum.
I've just bought a new factory unlocked Iphone 4 from a top rated seller in USA, came back to my country, inserted my Sim in the Iphone, and got the message:
"No Sim" "Insert valid sim with no pin lock to activate Iphone"
This Sim I was using in my old Iphone and actually in a Blackberry Storm.
After the message I put it back again in the BB, and it works fine.
But in the Iphone I get always this message.
One thing: My SIM is a regular one, and I had to use a tempalte available in the net to cut it into a micro SIM.
In the BB it keeps on working.
Any idea?
Thnak you
Luis

I answer your question: I buy a lot of things from ebay, and I just looked for "an original factory unlocked" one, assuming their are original, just that.
If I had known I could have bought it CHEAPER directly in Apple, I would have never done it in ebay! (I was told in my country that if you buy in the web, normally you get a discount, sound logic to me.
On the other hand I saw that this seller sold over 1000 Iphones and I trusted that's all.
I'm not dealing with phones, I sell art.
Anyway I still trust what is written there, that they are factory unlocked, and I'll try what you say tomorrow with my carrier: I'll buy a micro sd, and if it still doesn't work, I'll write this seller to see what's going on
Thanks for your advice

8800e-1 Arte "Charger not supported"

I own the 8800e-1 Arte. Out of the box I was able to set up PC Suite and the stand for the phone and it worked perfectly. Every time I stuck the phone in the stand it charged up, new pics were downloaded to my PC, and my latest SMSs showed up in PC Suite.
It does not work any more. I have done nothing to the phone, the stand, the cable, PC Suite, or indeed Windows. In the morning yesterday is was working. In the afternoon it was not.
The only thing I can think of is that when the phone rings I pick it up to answer it. Perhaps it was in a particular software state at that point in time and I disrupted it.
Now when I stick my phone in the stand I get an error on the phone that says "Charger not supported".
The USB cable is fine. I have unplugged and plugged in both ends and there is no improvement. I know the cable is working as the base of the phone stand glows white. Regardless, I have taken the stand out of the loop, plugging the phone directly into the cable, and I still get the error "Charger not supported".
I have turned off the phone, taken out the battery, put the battery back, and restarted it. It still does not work.
This strikes me as something wrong with the handset rather than the stand, cable, PC, or PC Suite. Maybe a pin got bent in the plug socket when I removed the phone from the stand, or when I tried to put it back? Maybe (as mentioned above) the phone was in particular state when I removed it from the stand and it got stuck.
Any advice?

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

Apple DVI to Video adapter + Mini DVI to DVI adapter pins not same

I just purchased an Apple DVI to Video adaptor so I could plug in a Mac mini to an older tv, however the pin arrangement on the Apple DVI to Video adapter is not the same as the pin arrangement on the Mini DVI to DVI adapter that came with the Mac mini.
Anyone have any idea what adapter I can use to make this connection?

Joseph Kriz wrote:
James,
I'm confused here.
Which Mini do you have?
I know you posted this in the 2009 Mac Mini section so your Mini should have 2 video out ports.
1. Mini DVI
2. Mini DisplayPort
If that is true, then there is no way you could have connected the DVI to Video adapter in your first post as the new Mini does not have a DVI port.
The new Mini's come with 1 adapter.
Mini DVI to DVI adapter.
I don't know of any Apple adapters that will output to S Video, component or composite connections on the new Mini's.
The one that osxdude shows above will not work on a new Mini. It say nothing about a Mini in their description:
*The Mini-DVI to Video adapter is designed for the iMac (Intel Core Duo), MacBook*, and 12-inch PowerBook G4, allowing you to connect to most S-video or Composite enabled devices.*
Good Luck and let us know what you find.
Yes, I have a late 2009 Mac mini. It came with the mini DVI to DVI adapter as you stated. I need to hook up to an older tv with yellow component video port. Not knowing any better, and looking online, it looked like the male DVI end of the “Apple DVI to video” adapter would connect to the female DVI end of the “Mini DVI to DVI” adapter that came with the Mac mini. I figured that since they were both DVI plugs, male and female, they would connect, but the “Apple DVI to video” adapter has 4 extra pins, so they won’t.
Then, following osxdude’s lead, I went to a local independent Apple store, and they told me that the same adapter that osxdude suggested would work, so I bought that (at an inflated price), but as you stated, it does not work. Also, as you stated, the Apple site does not list the Mac mini as being used with this adapter, which is why I did not originally purchase it online. It was only at the insistence of the independent Apple store that it would work that I purchased it. Unfortunately, once the package is opened
the store were I purchased it will not take it back. Boy... this is getting expensive, and confusing! Why so many adapters?
After much searching I found this info: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=706736&highlight=monoprice so I’m going to try that.
Once it’s all said and done, I guess I’ll be listing a few adapters on ebay!

Help to get my photo art edit software working in my new computer.i saved a backup before my old computer died. i have a new computer now, and is what i backed up, all i need to make my new computer have what i had in my old/dead computer?

help. am not a tech savvy person.
i do art with a win vista computer filledwith photoshop cs3 and tons uf unbelievable plugins that were given to me by a now deceased ps wizard.
that computer died. i now have a new computer, but it is of no value to me without the same art setup that i backed up into an ext hard drive.
i have wetechies @ 300 usd/year trying to remotely do that. day 2, so far no success.
i cannot afford to buy all that. i have cancer also, and with 6 months to live, friends have generously bout me a great computer for my art needs.
but i need more than a computer. and i need more than photoshop. i need the programs n things in my plugins .
does anyone know how to do that?
my wetechies from india are on day two, and ony have given me a 1.16 kb pd icon! then asked me if that was fine.
i said to them it is fine if it works! which it did not.
tody is day 2, person 2 attempting this.
is this an impossible feat?
they are not familiar with plugins, but they do comp tech stuff.
my cs3 extended and the plastic case bearing the serial #, bought for 900 usd, were stolen the night i was in the hospital having my mastectomy.
i had the ps3 inside the plastic case in my living room drawer. when i came home, there was a psc ( not extended ) in one of the 2 computer drawers.
i am not sure why. but in the second drawer was my chest xray from the hospital???? i suppose ,since i never looked at it myself, it may have had my personal info needed for the thief to pose as me. also, my purse, with passport,all forms of id and my keys, were stolen on another day . but i have bad credit, so good luck to them.
i want to spend my remaining time doing art. I even entered an art competition for charity. sponsored by Lilly oncology.
i know of no one who did art in my building at the time which was in florida, where i was having my chemo and radiion, and first surgery.
that computer, was broken, by someone trying to fix it. perhaps the only person i know who wopuld have an interest in the plugins as he was a photog and was familiar with the photog and ps wizard who supplied me my art stuff.
wheredo i go from here, inexpensively, i was gifted the computer of my choice. it is awesome for art. but i wanta photoshop in it, which i do not use for much, but i do use the plugins.
question- is it true that my new 64 bit computer with win7 is compatible with cs3 and higher? as well as plugins tha are 32bit not 64 bit?@

Whether your music purchases will be in the cloud will depend upon what country that you are in, and whether it is still in the store (record companies occasionally remove their music) - you can't add music to the cloud without subscribing to iTunes Match.
You should be able to copy your library over from your existing computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527

ITunes 10.0.7.21 shows a white box instead of artwork for most of my albums. Many of these are albums I purchased on itunes. Also when I hit get album art it deleted the artwork it already had form many albums and says it cant find it.

OS is Windows 7
I updated iTunes the other day and I decided to run "get album art" and instead of finding artwork, it made some of the artwork I already had show up as white squares, or disapear entirely. The ones that are white squares show up under the get info, but not in itunes. I did click in view for show al artwork, no luck. Many of these albums I bought from iTunes. The ones that the artwork was deleted some albums I can buy on iTunes, but already owned, and iTunes found the artwork before, but now cannot. Some are albums that I spent many hours finding and adding the artwork myself. I am very frustrated. I cannot find the time to manually install artwork for thousands of songs.
My work computer is Windows 8, so I really don't want to hear windows vs OSX argument. My company won't switch to mac because you like it better, so I just need a solution to my issue. iTunes it has always worked better for me on my work PC than my macBook, I dont know why, but I don't take two laptops with me when I travel so I have my iTunes library on the PC that has to come with me. This is the first time an update has screwed things up for me.

Well my first guess was wrong. The line that failed is the one that writes out the image to disk. I've not revisited the code for that script for ages, but it seems I did add in an extra test for missing files a little while later, then forgot to upload the change. I can reproduce the error message if I deliberately rename a file to confuse iTunes so that seems the most likely reason for your problem with the script. I've uploaded a new build of CreateFolderArt which should work better.
See FindTracks for a tool to repair broken links. You should probably get that issue fixed first.

How can I display all album art of my library in iTunes

All my music tracks in my library contain the respective album art within their ID3-tags and it is perfectly displayed in the lower left corner window when I select or play a track.
What I really would like to do is to browse through my library using the album art, not the text-based endless lists (title, album, interpret, genre etc.), then click on a cover, see the tracks and select one.
Is there a feature in iTunes already that can do that or a plug-in somewhere in the market ? (I do not need a tool that collects album art like eyejamz, but a tool to display the art I already have)
Thanks a lot for any feedback

Bakergirl,
You can use iTunes to remove the beginning or end of a song (or both) by setting the Start and Stop times.
But to remove a section from the middle and keep the rest, you will need an audio editor such as Audacity.

How can I quickly get the same album art for all tracks on an album without manually doing them one at a time?

I am having trouble with album art linked to each track. My library is ripped from my own cd's and ITunes only provides some of the artwork from a find artwork search. The rest must be found and added one at a time manually from web. This process is tedious and time consuming for me. Is there a file in iTunes related to each album that I can just drop the art once and it shows up linked to all the tracks from that album when they play? I've tried selecting all songs from an album and dragging the artwork to the artwork window once in hopes of all tracks getting the artwork at the same time with no luck. Any advice for this paltry artwork dilemma would be appreciated. If Cassidy & Greene still owned this ******* child of SoundJam I know I would not be having this problem! HaHa...Thanks for any advice/help with this problem.

Thx 4 quick reply alexbird. Your method will work and after a little experimenting so will this: Just go to the album art view option and highlight the album you want artwork for. Drag the artwork from your album art web search page to bottom left hand album art window in iTunes and just drop it there. A small progress window then appears showing each album track adopting the dropped artwork one by one. It only takes 10-15 seconds for all of the tracks on your album to adopt the new artwork. I then went back and removed unwanted artwork(from the albums that had it) track by track from the get info menu. This goes pretty quick as you just pick track>get info>artwork>highlight art>delete>ok for each track.
This drag/drop to the album art view page has been the simplest and most effective way I have discovered to manually import album artwork into iTunes so far. Hope this helps someone else out there. Any other methods or suggestions to do this task added to this thread will be duly noted. Thx... Oh, I am currently using iTunes 10.5.1

After i downloaded IOS5 most of my album art on my iPod touch is missing, but its still on my computer.

some of the album art for the songs i recently downloaded from itunes is there, but almost everything i've downloaded from itunes in the past has no album art. how do i get it back?

Another thing to try: uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox in your iPod pane in iTunes, sync and allow iTunes to remove the tracks, then rechec the "Sync Music" checkbox and resync. That fixed the problem with missing and incorrect album artwork on my iPad with iOS 5.
Regards.

A late majority of the album art on my iPod Touch is mixed up.

I put a CD in my laptop to import it to iTunes. I unplugged my iPod and all the album art in my music (all of which I had purchased on iTunes) was mixed up. Say, a Lady Gaga song still played Lady Gaga but the album art was one of my Katy Perry songs. I've tried restoring all settings but it's still messed up. I need help, please.

You are not alone. Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I have a question that I think I know the answer to, but am looking for confirmation. I have a dell computer at home that has clip art available on it for putting pictures into documents. Do I need to install an APP to get something similar to clip art?

I have a question that I think I know the answer to, but am looking for confirmation. I have a desktop computer at home that has clip art loaded onto it. I recently got an iPad and am looking for something similar. I assume I need to get an APP for it, and if that is correct, does anyone have one that they like?

Sort of. There is an app called art shop that gives you a place to park clip art. But I don't think you really need it.
If you have a collection of clip art you want available, move it to the camera roll on your pad/ phone, then copy paste into your document the clip you want.
You can get them into the camaera roll by putting them in a single event in your picture library and syncing them over, or e mail them to your self, and save to the camera roll, or send them to drop box, and bring them down that way.
The challenge is getting them all in one place to make it easy for you to find, which is why syncing might be the best approach in the long run.
As near as I can tell there is not a ready made clip art collection in app format laying around.

With the last update, 10.0.1, I can no longer pin my Firefox shortcut to my taskbar. How can I do this....there is no longer any option to do so. TIA

This is what worked for me.
1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Proceed to where Firefox is stored
3. Drag the Firefox icon to your desktop (this will create a desktop shortcut)
4. Drag the Firefox shortcut to your task bar
5. Delete your Firefox desktop shortcut
You should now have a Firefox shortcut pinned to your task bar.

Hmmm, could be related to the following, but I haven't tested myself:
There is a bug in Firefox 21 with the Windows 7 Taskbar "Jump List" not being updated. (Long thread here: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/959865 Why do visited sites not show in my jump list? (Win 7 Ultimate).])
Judging from the bug system, the fix for that issue will definitely appear in Firefox 24, and there is an effort to move it up to Firefox 22 (beta) and Firefox 23 (aurora).

IPod can no longer sync or charge, bad pin connectors?

I've got an iPod touch thats a year old now that suddenly no longer will charge/sync to anything. I'm thinking maybe the pins are bad?
I've had difficulty inserting chargers into it since I got it, I've been careful to not handle it too roughly but it does take a strong push to get the charger in there. Of all the ipods I've had (and i had the first gen iPod touch before this too) over the years, never had that problem.
Before I get a bunch of "just reset it" kinds of replies, it is functioning properly other then that. Last night I did have it hooked up and synced to my Mac so it fully charged, but just now I went to connect it and now it refuses to connect at all. I've tried 2 cords, and with the same cords I plugged my iPhone in as well and it all worked fine, so it's definitely not my other hardware. iPod software is also up to date as well.
I haven't had a real issue of it not syncing with my computer before today, but in the past month it's had issues staying properly synced to my car radio (play it through USB). It would sometimes drop off or glitch up and not want to work correctly, though in the past week it started working more normally again.
I listen to my ipod as much as humanly possibly, so I'm wondering if this something I can take to the Apple Store and see if its fixable or replaceable. I've been looking for a great excuse to get the new red ipod touch but I've been unemployed since August.. Of course it has to break before I get a new job
Has anyone else had the issue of having difficulty getting the sync cords into their ipod touches/problems where the pins just die?
EDIT: Nevermind. My imac suddenly wont sync my iphone either but I plugged the ipod into the iphone charger and it synced immediately. It's something on my computer's end.

*all the songs are there, but there are shown in light grey and not able to be high lighted.*
*I'm also not able to play from my ipod list, only from my itunes??*
Grey text when you look at the content and a lock symbol at the bottom of the screen just indicates that the iPod is set to sync automatically with iTunes. If you want to play the iPod songs through iTunes, delete songs from the iPod, drag songs from iTunes, add playlists to the iPod etc. you need to change the update setting to "manually manage songs and videos" as per the link above. The text will change from grey to black and everything will be directly accessible through iTunes
*I have seen a friend plug his ipod into some one elses computer and the same thing happened, it showed all the content but he was not able to access it, or modify it.*
Again that's most likely because the iPod was set to auto-sync with his home library. If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer or with more than one library you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different. You can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
*Before I backed up my itunes libary from my external hard drive, and itunes was empty, it would not allow itunes to be copyied from my ipod?*
iTunes will only give you the option to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads etc) there are third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod.
