Shake - What Does it Do?

Sorry folks, really basic nubie question. I use FCP, Motion, etc. for business presentations (w/Keynote) and for editing home SD DV movies (usual holiday stuff etc.).
The price drop of Shake makes it very attractive, but in spite of reading as much as I can on Apple's site, I'm still not sure what this might allow me to do on top of what FCP and (in particular) Motion gives me.
Could someone give me a simple list (in words I might understand) of what Shake can enable which is outside of the current aps. I have?
Many thanks for answering what is probably a daft question.
David

BTW -- I meant siplified answer... not SIMPLE answer.
But --
I'm no shake historian, but I think it's fair to say Apple bought this compositing software from programmers and software engineers at Sony Imageworks... or thru Nothing Real the company who developed it.
It MIGHT be unfair of me to say, but the price point might have been way up there for a few reasons... Apple realized at the time, Shake would be a fairly small market (dominant in the marked it needed to be in, but still small) when compared to FCP or iMovie. So, with the inclusion of maintenance and support packages for this program and the small marked lock apple's price point made this a very successful program for Apple.
Now, since they don't have to maintain a development team for THIS version of Shake I think Apple did a brilliant move by putting it at a reachable pricepoint for people like you who would like it maybe for these "other" things it can do.
Listen, Shake is STILL not a dumb program. It is still as powerful as it was at $3000. Smooth Cam, as good as it is is not a end all cure all one button thing.
As Patrick says, Shake gives you Apple at it's core... from the file system to the terminal line command structure, Shake can be very scary. But now it is at least affordable to buy it even if you are only going to use it for just 4 things.
When you get home, check out my smooth cam tutorial. You'll see a difference alright.

What does Qmaster do for Shake 4.1

Hi Everyone,
So what does Qmaster do for Shake 4.1? Can i run Shake and have all the functions without Qmaster?
See, I had to take the new Qmaster off, so that I could run Compressor, being that Compressor needs and will not run with the older version (2.0.1) of Qmaster, so now I have Compressor working but, am just thinking, will i loss, or what will I loss on Shake w/o the new Qmaster.
Christopher

Apple Qmaster is a system of utilities that provides automated work distribution and
processing projects created with Shake and other software packages on Mac OS X.
Shake provides an optional interface, available as a subtree at the bottom of the
Render Parameters window, which lets you submit jobs to the Apple Qmaster system.
For more information on setting up and using Apple Qmaster, you are stongly
encouraged to see the Apple Qmaster User Manual.
So -- yes.

In relation to Wireless Speakers, what does 'Connected Music Server' mean?

Hello All,
Need some advise. I am looking at purchasing a Wireless speaker. I currently have a MacBook Pro 10.8 which has my music stored in iTunes. My phone is an Android 4.2.2 device.
Therefore, I need to buy a wireless speaker that supports AirPlay (aka stream music from my MacBook Pro) and also has an app that I can install on my Android device which can threby access the iTunes playlist so that I can use my phone as the remote control.
Based on the above requirements, I narrowed down my chocie to the Denon Cocoon Home (whose app is also Deno Cocoon) and the Pioneer A4 XW-SMA4-K (whose app is Pioneer ControlApp)
Question 1:
The Denon App says this:
- When connected to your home Wi-Fi network you can further expand your choice of music by using the Music Server to browse and play all the music that is stored on your PC, Mac or Network Attached Storage (NAS) drive.
- DRM protected music is NOT supported by the Denon Cocoon app (or any 3rd party music app)
My question what does one mean by a 'connected music server?' If an AirPlay speaker receives iTunes music, does it automatically become a 'connected music server?' Technically, is music in my iTunes app (some purchased from iTunes store, some imported) considered DRM protected music? Can ithe app read the iTunes music given the above contraint?
Question 2:
The Pioneer App has a lot of complicated lingo that says:
Network Audio Player
- Browse and select music files on your connected music server
AV Receiver
- Browse and select music files on your connected music server
Network CD Receiver System
- Browse and select music files on your connected music server
Wireless Speaker
- Volume up/down
- Select Internet Radio Stations
- PUSH PLAYER
It uses one app for multiple devices and in the app description has a breakdown for what the app supports for every device. Now the 'connected music server' is not mentioned in 'Wireless Speaker' but the same is mentioned in 'Network Audio Player' so what does that mean?
I am more veered towards the Pioneer speaker as it costs $100 less and has better reviews but I will go with the one that will aloow me to use my Android phone as a remote control to access the music that the speaker is streaming from my MacBook pro.

I replaced my iPhone with a Galaxy 5 and am not receiving all of my text messages. The sales person told me to remove my phone number from iTunes to stop this from happening. Is that true? What does iTunes have to do with text messages?

I replaced my iPhone with a Samsung Galaxy5 and I am not receiving all of my text messages now. The rep at the store told me to go to iTunes and take my phone # off of the account and that would fix the problem. Is that true? What does iTunes have to do with text messages anyway?

You need to remove your phone number from the iMessage system.

GetResponseCode() returns -1,what does it mean

Hi ,
The HttpURLConnection class's getResponseCode() method returns -1.
getResponseMessage() returns null.i m accessing my servlet through a proxy.i know only about 1xx to 5xx codes.i dont know what does it mean by -1.But at server side the request is properly sent and processed and i m getting 200 and ok after processing at serverside. the object is sent to client also. but it is not received by the client.
Null object is returned.I think proxy is the culprit.If anyone can help me what -1 means,it will be really greatfull to diagnoise my issue in detail and solve my problem soon.
Your help will be greatfull.
Thanks
prakash

As it says perfectly clearly, right there in the API documentation for the method:
"Returns -1 if no code can be discerned from the response (i.e., the response is not valid HTTP)."

I got an iphone from Hong Kong which is locked one. Can anyone explain me what does a locked iphone means. How do I use it in India now, with my own sim card. How do I unlock it???

I got an iphone from Hong Kong which is locked one. Can anyone explain me what does a locked iphone means. How do I use it in India now, with my own sim card. How do I unlock it???

If your iPhone is locked to a wireless provider, only that wireless provider
can unlock it. Contact the wireless provider in Hong Kong to see if they
offer unlocking and if you qualify.
If your iPhone is locked to an AppleID that you do not know, return it for
a refund as it is useless. Only the person whose AppleID was used for
activation can remove the lock. There is no workaround for Activation Lock.
If neither of the above is what you are facing, provide more detail so someone
may offer a solution.

HR-PA What does u201CCEu201D in name means

Dear all,
I am looking at BI Contend for HR-PA (Personnel Administration). In the name of some of the objects there is u201CCEu201D at the end. What does this CE means?

CE in the HR-PA BI Content stands for Concurrent Employment. This requires grouping reasons to be configured in the ECC source environment. The grouping assignments can be seen in ECC table T77SO.

Also experiencing some funky issues with my wireless keyboard. With new batteries, it will just stop functioning. Certain keys intermittently won't work. Also the fans go on as soon as I turn the computer on - some times they stay on and sometimes they don't. Ever since upgrading the operating system - I've been having many issues with this iMac. Not happy. Any answers out there?

Thanks for your reply LexSchellings, There is no disc in the drive and I went through the suggestions you put forward on the phone with Apple support without any luck. I can put a disc in but it pops straight back out again without registering on finder.
The idea of using an external drive was to enable me to avoid the cost and loss of productivity whilst machine in repair... if I have to take it in to get the old drive removed than I might as well have a new internal drive put in, although I do worry about the reliability of these apple drives given my experience with this one coupled with my limited online research ... on line forums seem to be full of people with the same problem (although perhaps searching such forums is bound to make it seem a common problem as users with perfectly working machines are less likely to post (?)) Your reply suggests that no external drive will work whilst the existing drive is in place.
As a postscript: I do realise that this is a user forum ...my secondary question was asking if anyone knows how to put forward a case/complaint to Apple... I can't find a link on the support page that would enable me to do so and I was wondering if anyone on this user forum had any ideas/experience..

I was playing with my ipad settings (it's an older model) and noted in the advanced settings of Safari there was a place to view website databases. When I clicked on this I saw websites. How do these get there and what does the space amount mean?

I was playing with my ipad settings and noted in he advanced settings of Safari there was a place to view "website databases". When I selected this I saw a multitude of websites.
Can anyone tell me how these get there? Can a website be posted even if it was never went to? What does the space amount mean? For example, 1.5 kb...is this quite a bit? Would it indicate someone has gone to a site multiple times?
I share my ipad with my teenage daughter and I'm trying to find out if she's lying to me. Obviously she's swearing that she has "no idea" how these got there and I'm trying to keep her safe (she's only 14).
Thanks everyone.

Think of your PC and the 'temporary internet folder' where it keeps cached copies of web pages or elements off a web page for 'quicker display the next time you visit'. That's pretty much what that folder is. 1.5K is tiny. Probably just a basic page with some text on it. (you might be confusing 1.5K with 1.5 megabyte....megabyte is large...it's roughly 1000 kilobytes, so the 1.5K is a tiny file)
As far as I know, the only way info gets into that folder is if the browser has been to that site.
if you have a concern there are browsers out there, McGruff is one i've seen recommended, that allow some degree of parental control and supervision. That or you could passcode lock the iPad or enable the restrictions to turn off some parts of the device to have some control.
