Possible newbee question

I am thinking of buying apple tv and will mainly be streaming from my imac.
I have a wireless router.
I assume to rent a film the stream will go from the router to apple tv.
If streaming from my mac does the stream then go from my mac direct to apple tv ?
In other words the only leads will be the apple TV power lead and hdmi from apple tv to my tv.

I went and bought ATV and everything sorted just one problem I have is that I have just lost my HD on my mac and got a new one and replaced all my photos. I have synced the photos to my ATV but they are just in one group. As I have best part of 8000 photos its is impossible to view any easily. I was expecting the events to be carried over from iphoto and making things easier to navigate.
Is it because when recovering my hard drive its classed the photos as being all one date ?
Whats the best way to order photos on ATV.
Cheers

  • APEX possible feature questions

    I posted another question that was answered, but have 2 more. We're attempting to configure APEX so that students can access it and run SQL commands on their own tables.
    I've got how to get each student their own workspace that they can configure without touching any of the other students workspace, however, I am continuing to play around and read about APEX features and I am wondering if there is any possibility that I can disable the GUI wizard part that allows users to create tables so they can only use SQL commands (I'm starting to doubt that this is possible)
    also
    Is there a way for the administrator of the database to view the work done by each user and view their SQL work?
    Thanks in advance!
    We're running Oracle 11g R2
    Application Express 3.2.1.00.10

    You can create a single workspace and a single schema for each student. Then just revoke the CREATE TABLE priviledge from the database schema.
    Is there a way for the administrator of the database to view the work done by each user and view their SQL work?No. Although the DBA can of cause see all the stuff (tables, views, objects) that is in the database.
    Otherwise I agree with acadet. FIrst learn SQL. Then start to use fancy tools like SQL Developer and/or APEX.

  • Newish to iWeb so excuse the possibly dumb questions!

    I am not a web designer also, so technically my skills in web stuff on a mac are basic ( i used to do some basic HTML stuff on a PC). I have my .mac account that I use for my family site, which is fine. But now I have a registered domain for my photography business, so I went ahead and created another web site for that, separate from my family site. I got it all done then went to save it to a folder and it is saying, "the document iweb could not be saved." I have tried a few times but nothing. IT won't even let me publish it to my .mac site. I NEED to get this done and am at my wits end. I am wondering if it would be easier to use the Adobe Creative Suite to design the webpage!
    Also, is it easier to FTP the site to the domain server, or to have it at my .mac site, redirected from the new domain?
    Last question. Can iWeb do a photo gallery that is more sophisticated than the slideshow option? As a photographer I would like something a little more snazzy that can also be divided by genre (babies, kids, family etc).
    Thanks for any help!

    You could publish your photos to a +.Mac Web Gallery+ and make a simple hyperlink to it from your web site. Here's info about +.Mac Web Gallery:+
    If you upgrade to iWeb 2 in iLife '08 you can pseudo embed a +.Mac Web Gallery+ into your site: Here's a video tutorial briefly showing that about half-way through:
    To really embed your +.Mac Web Gallery+ into a web page, use HTML's IFRAME. Unlike frames created using FRAMESET and FRAME, IFRAME creates a frame that sits in the middle of a regular non-framed web page. IFRAME works like IMG, only instead of putting a picture on the page, it puts another web page.
    iWeb 2 in iLife '08 uses IFRAMES to easily embed widgets into web pages via iWeb's +HTML Snippet+ window. Here are instructions to embed a +.Mac Web Gallery+ into an iWeb site via iWeb 2's +HTML Snippet+ window:

  • Waveburner Newbee question on plugin use.

    Just attempting to do my first master on a trial basis.I have Waveburner but used it only once to burn a CD & not really 'master'.I have mixed & bounced 10 songs.Now I need to master those 10 songs with softwares like Ozone etc that I have.For mastering each song do I first import into a new logic project & then master it or do I do all songs on Wave burner?I presume it would be a good idea to import it into logic & get that induvidual song mastered & then import it into wave burner & do an overall master (using eqs,etc) to get a balance between all songs.Do let me know which would be the right approcach.Is it possible to use different plugins for different songs on wave burner or will the plugins that I use for 1 song affect all the 10 songs at the same time?
    I know I sound very ameteur & from what you hear, mastering myself may not be a good idea.But I want to give it a shot so do give me some basic guidance.Too many videos on youtube & too many books out there on mastering is just too much to handle ! So I will start with your opinion.
    Thanks

    Mastering your own mix is like writing a critique on whther your girlfriend (boyfriend) is pretty (handsome), and what would you change? You get so close to it that it becomes difficult to tell. Plus you are (presumably) mastering in the same room as you have mixed it in, so you actually have the possiblility of compounding your room deficiencies. Plus, it's quite a different skill, and requires a much more logical, reasoned and scientific ear. Most producers and artists run on emotion. It's much better to have someone else who has the tools, skill sets, cool head and detached ear to review what you have done .
    BUT
    If you must (and some of us must, for various reasons) you could do it in Logic, or equally easily in Waveburner. You really haven't looked at it much, have you? You can of course separately assign plugins region by region (i.e. song by song) as well as plugins to the overall collection (mix plugins). It's actually a great tool, because you can check the songs against one another while still tweaking the settings. And then maybe have a final safety limiter very gently on the whole project. Or not, if you are philosophically opposed. In the menu in each case, you have audio units plugs (3rd party) and waveburner plugs (Logic).

  • Possible Stupid Question on Aliases

    We're on iMS/SunONE 5.2. What I've yet to figure out is how to do something so simple that I may be overlooking the obvious solution. This is to duplicate what /etc/aliases does in sendmail. I.E take an email address which does not match a particular existing user and deliver that message to the specifed recipient. There are two aspects of this which I need to address.
    1) Delivery of inbound mail if account is local. For example... [email protected] to [email protected] I think I understand this as I just need to add an alternate address for bob.jones into the ldap. Not centralized but the concept makes sese.
    2) Forwarding of inbound mail to other mail servers. For example [email protected] to [email protected].edu where our.listserv.edu is handled by a seperate mail server. In this case the /etc/aliases file sendmail uses makes this dirt simple. Unfortunately i've poured through the iMS docs and have yet to find how to do this. It may have to do with terminology as I'm not sure what iMS calls this type of proceedure. We have many of these (hundreds) and not having a centralized way of handling these would be very very difficult. What is the solution here?
    Thanks,
    -Patrick

    Not a stupid question at all, I fought with the same concept coming from sendmail. The concept is that it's simple to redirect mail using the aliases file (/etc/mail/aliases) and it only took one line to do it.
    Under iMS you need to expand your mind and accept that ldap is <insert deity> and everything is done differently.
    Alias entries need to be adapted to one of -
    individual accounts (mailalternateaddress)
    or
    a new ldap entry with it's forward settings going to your other addresses.
    or
    a mail list, for local one to many distributions.
    This applies to direct ldap and dirsync mode, however if you're running in dirsync mode, ensure you run the dirsync after making changes.
    Finally, if you create an aliases file in -
    <msg-home>/config/aliases
    and you are thorough on the addresses, they still work.
    Just my experience, search for "aliases" in the forum.

  • Help with possibly noobish question

    Hello,
    I need to make some complex graph structures such that this format will not do
    1: 2 ->4
    2: 4 ->2
    I have several additions to each node to take care of that is the main problem.
    each node has aarity which I could hold as a separate array to be accessed for each object instance of a node
    Part 1:
    The problem is that i have to know which node is connected to which arity element and then I have to search for the free elements and label their indexes with characters. I think I can solve this
    Part 2:
    The second problem is maybe a little worse as I have to translate certain groups graphs to something like this and then connect them to any graph as needed. Will i need to make a separate object for this purpose??
    | ..................| n input wires connected |
    |???????????????????????????????????|
    | Wires maped to edges from graph |
    |___________________________________|
    | ..................| n output wires wires connected |
    Part 3:
    To compound this I have to find a way to implement a menu selector to choose random graphs or parts of graphs for a Genetic Algorithm. Selection is not the problem here its is mapping the structures into a chromosone which is causing me the problem.
    Part 4:
    Each connection has the graphs triggers different application specific rules that cause the graph to reduce or change connections.
    Any help on strategies for these problems would greatly be appreciated
    kind regards
    Prashant

    Hello all and thanks for the replies positive or not. Sorry if I offended you bbritta. I guess its not such and easy question after all.
    Well its not due tomorrow and I am doing some research into a wierd topic so you guys are along the right lines. The topic I am researching is non-determinstic interaction nets. I don't know too many people doing this. Interaction Nets invented by a guy named Yves Lafont and you can google this and the topic I am researching.
    All the code written thus far exists in C and is very hard to interpret as it uses a Lex and Yacc parser to implement the creation of tokens and syntax rules of the Interaction Nets programming language.
    Basically its a high level visual graph programming language however it can also be used on low level based on interpretation. Thus the need for graph data structures. Essentially I have to modify this programming language for non-determinism and demonstrate this in a Genetic Algorithm. The latter would be no problem if I could get the data structure sorted. People familiar with Lamda calculus, Linear Logic and Process Calculus might have seen this in some research papers.
    However I have not had a very good theoretical background so finding the data structures to map the complexity of the graphs is a little problematic. I will outline my idea and what I have done a little clearer below.
    So far I have broken the prob into smaller steps as suggested by someone, I hope the pseudo code helps a little more.
    class Symbol
    convertASCIItoINt( char value) : return int
    getChar() : return char
    checkAvailability() : return boolean;
    //each Symbol is assigned to a free port and is traditionally input.
    //several instances of this obj are used to
    class Port  implements Symbol
      initialisePort( num);
      checkFreePorts( ) : return boolean;
      setPortSymbol (port [num])
      private ports [ num ];
      setEndPortAsSpecial( ports [ num ]) // each node has a special port called principal port
    // each node has a set of port and each port can have a label as a string
    class Node
    setNodeSymbol()
    getnodeSymbol()
    public Port node_obj [ port_num ];
    setSpecialSymbol( string)
      //destructor to delete node connected to
      //duplicator to create a copy of cell value
      //constructor create a copy of the cell
    getSpecialSymbol() : return string symbol;
    checkSpecialSymbol(node_obj [ port_num ]): return string symbol;
    //so far as a typical graph goes i think its acceptable to connect the nodes in an vector with
    //a list at each element although this is not shown below.
    class Net
      connecNodes( node_obj [ port_num], node_obj [ port_num] )
      checkDeadlock(): return boolean; //check for cycles
      public Node net_obj [ node_num ];
      checkConnected( node_obj [ port_num], node_obj [ port_num] ): return boolean;
    //this is where the execution engine will be placed
    class InteractionRules
    ruleTrigger( )
      Node n = new n
      n.checkSpecialSymbol()
      // its here where things get complicated with the data structure as according to the rules I have to delete
      // add or copy a value of a particular node in a Net
      determineReduction()
        //if (ports [ num ] = num )
        // a reduction occurs according to the rule in the method above ruleTrigger();
       //at this point the relevant nodes will be removed and new nodes will be added according to the rules
    storeCopyofOriginalNet()
       //needed to rollback if rules are infeasable or deadlock occurs.
    }I desperately still need help to complete the data structure I have also considered manipulating the complex associations between the sets as multimaps and maps
    Sorry if I am not clear I am trying my best to explain something I have had little background and almost no help in as I am creating the special rules as I go along such as keeping an copy of a net / graph before modifying it in the Genetic Algorithm.
    Kind Regards and Best Wishes

  • Newbee question: Limiting Access

    Ok, here the situation.
    In my school, I would like to be able to block temporary access to internet or other software to my students individually or globally if needed. Is it possible to do that with ARD? I log to one of my student station and block his access. Possible? Right software? I'm new in the Mac World.
    I would like to know what is your experience using this software in a *school lab*? Happy with this software. What is good? What to avoid? Thanks for your help!

    I don't think that this is an option within ARD, but if you are running Leopard, there is a new Preference Pane called 'Parental Controls' that works much like you require. It allows you to set time limits on specific software and internet usage. That sounds like what you are looking for.

  • Newbee question - Headers Footer and menus

    What is the current, best practice for building a web site with consistent menus, headers and footers etc.
    I have read good and bad about SSI, and Dreamweaver libraries etc, and would like to know where folks in the industry turn to complete this kind of task.
    I did a really simple site with php, www.canvasdoctors.com but someone told me that how I did that was overkill and not correct.
    I hope i have been clear.
    Thanks for your time.

    Thanks  for the quick replies.
    Now, I was just using the canvas site as an experiment.
    And my question does not reallt relate to that site but more generically to the whole web design world.
    If you were to start a whole new site, that would have lots of content, what technology is the latest and best way of managing the properties i spoke of and would allow for easy modifications to the entire site by only editing once?

  • Newbee question (first of many though)

    As soon as I can break through the initial intimidation I hope to begin learning Lightroom and cataloging my 15k+ images.  Before I dive in though I'd like to begin with a handful of images and see how the program and my workflow (to be determined) will work.  If I begin with an external flash drive and let's say 100 images just to learn a few things can I safely delete all traces and tracks of those images in the program before I begin my major work or is it advisable to simply uninstall the program then reinstall a fresh copy?  Thanks.  Looking forward to everyones help and generosity.
    Andrew

    Hi andyboy2. I believe your question is quite easily resolved. To remove a photo from the catalog, right click it in the film strip or grid view (in any module) This will bring up a series of choices, one of which is 'delete photo....' Clicking on this brings up a dialog box that gives you the choice of deleting the photo from disk (your hard drive) or just removing it from the catalog. Choose either the 'Delete from Disk' button for the 'Remove' button. (There is also a cancel button)  Good Luck. LR is a lot to wrap your head around at first.

  • Installing iTunes (possible dumb question?)

    Now I am no computer expert so for the savvy out there I trust you not to laugh at this question!
    When you download a file such as iTunes and save it prior to install I understand it is visible as e.g. iTunes.exe. Opening the .exe file will cause a programme to be installed. Understand that.
    Now, are you safe to delete the original .exe file you downloaded? This won't mess up your newly installed programme? Presume what goes for iTunes.exe in this regard goes for any .exe file? I would simply like to be in a position to delete any unnecessary files from my PC.
    Comments anyone?
    Local retailer custom built pc. Pentium 4 chip 2.4GHz   Windows XP   SP2 20Gb iPod

    I always keep the last version of iTunesSetup.exe that I like. So I can go back to it, if there is a crummy update, which some of them have been....
    hi y'all!
    i've been religiously keeping a copy of every installer file i've ever downloaded from itunes (and ipod software upaters too) since my 5.0.1.4 install.
    the most recent version of it lives on my desktop (for reference purposes, if i can ever find it in that cyberpigsty). when a new itunes version comes out, i go through my ritual of creating a folder for my previous version of iTunesSetup.exe, and tucking it into bed to leave room for the brand spanking new iTunesSetup.exe on my desktop.
    (i'm inclined to believe my behavior is a bit perverse in this regard, though.)

  • Possible Noob Question: Correcting Colors From Cheap Digital Camera

    I'm somewhat embarrassed to ask this here, but ya gotta start some place.
    I'm a web dev so forgive my ignorance. I work with photos a lot, but they've always come to me from people who know what they're doing. I don't really understand digital -photography- that well---which is quite different I realise than film.
    Anyhoo, I'm trying to get better colors from a  pocket digital camera (Canon Elf 310) which (supposedly) has 12MP. The pictures I want to take for the job I have in mind involve clouds and landscapes and I gotta take a pocket came because we're camping/fishing.
    Anyway, they -could- be very cool but the tests I've done show that the colors are going to be just -wrong-. And by 'wrong' I mean everything either seems -under- saturated or hyper-statured. For example... the subtle pinks in clouds are rendered as washed out or will be overly contrasty (hyper) yellow to orange.
    The detail is quite sharp, however so does that mean there's something 'there' there which can be properly corrected? And if so, how?
    If it's too wordy, perhaps maybe someone can just recommend a good text on the subject?
    TIA,
    ---JC

    I completely agree with Mylenium.
    Beyond working with the various Tools in PS, for "Color Correction," I would start with a properly calibrated monitor, so that you know that what you are "correcting," is the Image, and not the monitor.
    Next, familiarization with those Tools, such as Hue/Saturation, will be very useful. The Help file can get you started, by defining what each Tool can do, and a short-course on how it does it.
    I would always work with non-destructive techniques, so that one can always go back and re-edit things. For that Hue/Saturation, mentioned above, I would use a Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer. Same for Color Balance, and the rest.
    Last, you eye should be your guide, on that calibrated monitor. Adjust, until you get what YOU like (or what your client likes). Remember that by default, most of those "corrections" will be "global" for the Image, BUT with Layer Masks, you can restrict/constrain the corrections to just certain areas of that Image. At that point, knowing about the various Masking techniques will be very helpful. Besides the Help file, there are many useful tutorials on various Masking techniques, and many will apply to Layer Masks.
    Also be aware that different camera sensors might bias differently, and also with lower-resolution Images, you will likely not have a great deal of Dynamic Range to work with. Start with the best possible, from your camera. If possible, shoot in Camera RAW, and use the "processing" power of ACR (Adobe Camera RAW), to get started. You should be able to create a Preset for your camera (maybe shoot a McBeth Color Checker card, and calibrate that), to get that processing started.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • A possibly dumb question re exporting clip for web use

    Hi,
    I've been experimenting with diff resolutions etc for exporting a clip intended to be added to a web page. Diff levels of mpeg compression, etc.
    I'm most impressed with the quality of H264, the video codec for the video ipod. I play it in a quicktime player just fine & it looks great. Its a choice in FCP HD 4.5
    The question is, can I make a little clip in H264 & put it on the web? Will web browsers with plug-ins set up to play quicktime files be able to play it? are there any compatibility issues? Windows browsers? etc?
    Thanks
    Duane

    Yes, they are playable on the web. They were able to do that before the video iPod came along, so that was their original intent.
    For others to see it they need to have QT7, and unfortunately many PCs cannot see videos in this format.

    But I don't want it in this way. I want something like this:
    How can I make this?!

    Try using baselineShift to move the image around. 
    This sort of worked for me.
    <img baselineShift="-90" lineHeight="16.8" height="100" width="100" source="surprised.png"/>
    The surrounding text was 14 point with leading of 120%.
