Starting from scratch, any sugestions or tips...

Hi I am working with professional artist to print wide format design for fridges, kids rooms etc...
What sort of stuff can you sugest I should keep in mind.
Thanks for you advice.

Radger,
It may be worth remembering that you can work in any scale and scale up in connexion with printing (you may create a PDF at the working size); vector artwork will just scale fine, raster artwork, if any, must have the required resolution at the final print size, so if you scale up the working resolution must be higher by the scaling factor.
Apart from that it all depends on the actual artwork, and how it is (originally) created if already settled (or done).

  • Starting From Scratch -- How Complicated is This Going To Be?

    I am starting from scratch with iChat (and with any video chatting for that matter).
    By next week I have to either figure it out and make a video call or find a local set up I can use or fly ot the meeting which I'd really rather not do!
    Looking at this forum I see lots of people with problems sharing huge complex error messages. These errors make me wonder if getting going will be too complicated.
    What do I need to do? Are there resources / hints / tips / traps / ... people can suggest?
    I have a G5 iMac without the built in camera but we do have an old cheap logitech webcam (or I could buy a better camera if needed). And I guess the iMac has a built in mic.
    I'm running Tiger 10.4.11 and I believe my iChat is version 3.1.9
    My internet connection is a high speed DSL
    The call I have to make will just be between two points -- if I'm set up with iChat what do they need to do on their end. They have a professional set up.
    At our end we would be three people -- will it be silly the three of us huddled around one computer?
    With my first quick look it seems that one either needs to be a .mac or an AOL member -- is that right or are there other options?
    If I'm starting from scratch is it worth the trouble to use iChat? Is this the excuse to upgrade to Leopard? Or should I forget iChat and try Skype?
    Bla Bla Bla I can go on but I think you get the drift.
    Can I do this? Will it work? What is critical? Should I bother?
    Thanks
    James

    Hi,
    Start at Ryan's Pages
    My Version
    The Built-in camera an Mic work.
    It is better if the background is uncomplicated and that you are better lit from the front than the Background is (Setting the Screen to something light can also help with this)
    You System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming is almost certainly going to need to be changed to 1.5Mpbs.
    If you change this whilst iChat is Open Restart iChat to see the new speed.
    Depending on your modem and any router you have they may need to have ports opened as iChat uses ports above the ones that are open by default (And allow Web Browsers and Mail to work) much like an On-line Game.
    There are test accounts and real people willing to test with
    iChat can Video chat to other iChat users whether they have a camera or not.
    Some people can have success with Video Chats to AIM on a PC.
    Names
    You can use the AIM Buddy list with either a AIM or @mac name
    There is also a Jabber List which you can use a Jabber ID or a GoogleMail/Google Talk ID with
    If you are connecting to PCs then Looking into MeBeam is a better option at present.
    Uses a Web Browser and Flash to allow use of your Camera and Mic.
    As far as the number of people around one camera goes it may pay to use two or more cameras as this creates a Drop down in iChat in the Preferences > Video section where one person could switch between the cameras.
    Alternatively if this is iChat to iChat then up to 4 computers could be connected in the chat (providing you have the Bandwidth at one end of the connection as it will count and 4 chats)
    The Critical bit is understanding your LAN
    iChat does not like it when it can see two or more Subnets (or Parallels or being wired and wireless at the same time)
    A Company LAN is not likely to use two DHCP servers but it is a common mistake on home LANs as web browsing and Mail still work due to the way the ports are opened.
    The Logs you see posted are seen in the Pop up at the time of a failed chat if you open it and they are stored in You Home Folder/Library/Logs/iChatConnectionErrors
    They can be somewhat interpreted and point you in the right direction at times.
    On the whole people keep posting all of the log but the bit below where it says +Binary Images+ is rarely useful and does not need to be posted.
    I hope this helps.
    Summary.
    Get name.
    Test to Test accounts.
    Test with real people
    Post back any info and about Modem, Router and LAN set up.
    +NOTE. With Tiger/iChat 3 you may possibly have issues with an ISP blocking port 5060 for use with their Own VoIP service+

  • How To "Start From Scratch" and Build a Clean iTunes Library on a Portable USB External Drive?

    A while ago I posted about my confused (and confusing) mess of an iTunes:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16183210#16183210
    While dozens looked I guess eveyone agreed with me "what a mess" and moved on.
    So ... someone at the Apple Store suggested that what I should do is start from scratch. But I'm not sure if I understand all the steps.  He said I should:
    * create a folder of all my songs and just the song files not all the other iTunes stuff -- copy all the mp3 and m4a files that I have in Music > iTunes > iTunes Music > Music to a temp folder let's call it "all my music"
    * launch iTunes and tell it to move to / always look at / whatever the terms my new portable external USB drive
    * click on file / add to library and tell iTunes I want to add that "all my music" folder to iTunes
    At this point I don't care if we lose playlists, artwork, play counts and all that stuff.
    Does this approach make sense?
    Is there another way?
    So how do I tell iTunes to only look to the external?  How do I get rid of the old stuff I have on the internal that is offering duplicates and phantom entries?  Do I need to delete iTunes and then download a new copy?  Should I delete the iTunes foilder? ...?
    Any advice would be much appreciated.
    Many thanks!

    the simplest and working way.
    go to iTunes -> Preferences -> Advanced
    On there change the iTunes Media Folder location to your external hard drive
    Check that the rest of the preference pane looks similar to the following picture.
    After doing so, on menu bar go to File -> Library -> Organize Library
    This will force iTunes to copy all songs and playlist's to the new place and to build up a new database for the Library.
    Empty or corrupted files will left behind on the old location.
    After checking that all is on place and working at the new location, you may delete all files at the former location.
    Done
    Cheers - Lupunus

  • Hi,  iTunes is no longer syncing my iPhoto library to my iPhone 4. Everything was syncing fine when I first got the phone, but, over the past week or so, it's stopped syncing photos.   Now, after attempting to start from scratch by deleting all the photos

    Hi,
    iTunes is no longer syncing my iPhoto library to my iPhone 4. Everything was syncing fine when I first got the phone, but, over the past week or so, it's stopped syncing photos.
    Now, after attempting to start from scratch by deleting all the photos on my iPhone, iTunes won't sync ANY photos from iPhoto back to my iPhone. I've restarted my phone, computer, etc., force quit all photo-related apps on my iPhone, and tried various combinations of turning iTunes' photo syncing on/off, switching photo sync folders, etc., all to no avail -- I can't get my iPhoto library back on to my iPhone no matter what I do.
    Anyone encounter a similar situation? (I've already sent feedback to Apple.) Thanks in advance.

    Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.

  • How to start from scratch?

    My G40 2388 is running slow although I have increased the memory. I spoke to a computer sales person who did not try to sell me a new laptop but said that it could help to make backup of all documents etc and then reinstall everything and start from scratch. Anyone has experience with that? Will it help? and how do I go about doing it? For instance how to I go back to the initial config. I do not have CDs because the laptop came with Win XP Pro installed from the manufacturer. I just want more speed and more space so I am open to other suggestions.
    Thanks a lot.

    The "funny" thing (I spend most of a day figuring it out but still have figured it out so "funny" is not the right word) is that the G40 recognizes other USB sticks, but also that one USB stick works on other laptops so it seems to be that stick with this mashine that is the issue. I thought it could be the driver but when I try to update the driver it tells me that I have the most recent driver - albeit that it is dated 31 January 2001.
    The problem is that I do not see the drive (F) and when I click on E (the USB is partioned) then I see E and F and then I click on F the mashine gives me this message: This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions on this computer. I have no idea which rstrictions it could be. I am logged in as administrator (only user). I have tried to restart.
    I really find it strange. Maybe I should delete the driver and see what happens? 
    Regarding the restore point: When I look in add / remove programmes, I see several older upgrades of XP and I thought: Maybe if I remove those because I do have the SP3... but maybe that is the same as removing restore points??
    TS files. They are in a folder I have made.. New folder2. It must have been a programme I installed, I just don't know which.. Some file names are: VTS_01_1.VOB (this one files is 1G alone..) and there are several of those.. do you have any idea what these files are for?
    I hope I can get these problems solved...then I can move on with more productive matters

  • Macbook Air 1,1 - Mac OS X 10.6.8 - Starting from scratch...

    Hi,
    I just got a Macbook Air 1,1 with OS X ver. 10.6.8...
    The previous owner gave it to me as is, whit almost full disk so I want to erase everything and start from scratch.
    I'm  a nubie, this is the first Mac I own, but after googling around it seems that I need an installation CD or something to reinstall the OS...
    Unfortunately, I have no CD with an OS, just got the Mackbook itself..
    So, how do I proceed to get a clean start?
    best regards
    Kjetil

  • Replacing Server - starting from scratch

    our organization has an SCCM2012 server in place which is up and running for about a year now.
    every once in a while, at random times and for random users, all the programs in the catalog get installed - without the user's request.
    we tried everything trying to fix it, but without success.
    i think it's time to start from scratch... create a new server, install sccm, recreate all packages, etc.
    any help regarding the correct procedure to do so will be appreciated!

    There are many guides available that can help you during the installation (see:
    https://www.google.nl/?gws_rd=ssl#q=install+sccm+2012). A few things to keep in mind:
    Use a different site code;
    When you are using auto assignment, make sure that the site assignment boundaries don't overlap.
    Also, did you already log a case with Microsoft to look at your issue? That would be my last resort before starting over..

  • Create Replacement Library - Start from Scratch?

    New user seeks guidance ... after reviewing forum threads and reading iPhoto6 instructional literature, it's obvious that I need to start my library over from scratch. (I am keenly aware that I can screw up the iPhoto software if I delete photos from behind the front door, so to speak).
    All the photos are backed up on an external HD. I have only a 100 or so pictures now on my Mac MBP HD; some were imported through iPhoto 6.0.3 and some were just dragged directly into my home folder. So, while it's a small mess, it's an organizational mess nonetheless.
    I want to start over and have every photo that makes it way to my MAC HD "enter" through iPhoto so that I don't have duplicates and is "tracked" by iPhoto. Can you suggest a safe procedure? And a second question, how should a picture be properly removed permanently from my system? Thanks, Jim F.

    Jim:
    Since you have all of your photos on an external HD and so very few on the boot drive, I suggest you assemble those on the boot drive into one or more folders. If they are in your current iPhoto library then the originals should be located in folder in the iPhoto Library/Originals folder. Each roll has a folder there.
    Once you have all of the photos safely in folders outside of iPhoto go ahead and delete the iPhoto Library folder.
    Now launch iPhoto and create a new library. Then drag each folder of photos into iPhoto to create a roll for that folder. lf you rename the outside folders before importing the new roll will have the same name as that folder.
    That's essentially it. To delete a photo from iPhoto you need to drag it to iPhoto's trash icon in the Source pane. Then go to iPhoto->Empty Trash menu option and empty the trash. It's all done within iPhoto.
    That being said let me describe an new option in iPhoto for creating a library that uses alias files for each of the source files and doesn't copy the full file into the library. This way you can have your source files located on an external drive and just a small alias based library on the boot drive. There are a couple of caveats to this system. If the external drive is not mounted the only the thumbnail view of the unedited images and the full sized view of any edited images can be seen. You can add comments, labels and keywords but not move any images or use any function that requires the full sized image, slideshows, books, calendars, etc. Also any photo deleted from the library is not deleted from the source files. They have to be deleted manually from the Finder.
    Tutorial #2 describes how to convert over to an alias system. Since you're starting from scratch it will be much easier. Just create an alias based library. Assemble your image files in a predetermined location (boot drive or external). Name the folders containing the files so the roll title will be informative, and import. Just a though. Good luck.

  • I just bought a new Macbook Pro and transferred my iTunes archive of music to it. How do I transfer the playlists from my other computer(s)? iTunes on the new machine wants to start from scratch.

    How do I transfer playlists from my other Apple computer(s) to my new Macbook Pro? I think I have successfully moved the music (archive) but the new machine wants to start from scratch on the playlists.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1751
    Essentially you need to copy over the itunes folder
    username/Music/itunes
    Over to your macbookpro I suggest using an ethernet cable as it is way quicker. Put it in the same spot on the new Macbook Pro
    username/music/
    This should bring over the playlists etc. Then just put the music back in from the archive

  • ICal: how can I start from scratch?

    I'm having recurring and persistent problems with iCal since I bought a new Mac Pro and migrated my user files from my previous computer (G5, which was also running Leopard).
    At first, alarms weren't working. I read several threads here and went through a lot of troubleshooting and finally got that working again.
    However, iCal is still very slow and buggy. For example, when I create a new to-do and click on the "due date" checkbox, it takes about 10 seconds for the check to appear. The spinning beachball is a frequent sight, and everything from creating new events to setting due dates and calendars takes five times longer than it used to when I was using iCal in Tiger.
    I created a backup of my iCal file, and manually exported my calendars for extra protection. Then I used AppZapper to completely uninstall iCal and all related files, and I used Pacifist and the OS X DVDs to reinstall iCal. Then I imported each calendar individually.
    This didn't work. iCal is still so unresponsive it's almost unusable. If there were another alternative out there that worked with my iPhone and other applications that sync with iCal, I'd be using it. But because I depend on those other apps I'm stuck with iCal, and I need to make it work.
    Is it possible that one of my calendars is corrupted and causing problems? What else can I do to find out where the problem lies?

    Harlan83,
    to start from scratch, you’ll need the pair of model-specific grey installation DVDs which originally came in the box with your MacBook Pro. You can purchase a replacement pair of DVDs for your model MacBook Pro from either Apple or iFixit.

  • How can I reset/refresh Mail and start from scratch in Lion?

    Just completed the upgrade to Lion last night.  On Snow Leopard I had been using Thunderbird as my mail client, but I'm interested in seeing what the upgrades in Mail look like and will do.  Before Thunderbird I did use Mail, so opening the app brought up all my old settings, smart boxes, etc.  I want to start from scratch as though I had never used Mail before - how can I reset it to "zero"?  Can I, or do I need to just manually delete the accounts, folders, boxes, etc. and then re-add them?
    Thanks for the help and advice.

    Ok, answering my own question. I found this article: http://www.christian-kalmar.com/fixing-a-broken-face-detection/

    Had pse 8 on a Windows 7 PC with a catalog backup on an external drive. Now have a Mac with OS Mavericks. If install pse 12 or Lightroom on the Mac will I be able to use the old catalog backup or must I start from scratch.

    If you made a full catalog backup using the organizer's backup command, and you did it to a removable drive, yes, you can restore it to the mac. A backup made on discs will not work, though.

  • I've lost iWeb and thus my web design.  I must start from scratch.  Should I reinstall iWeb 09 and use that, or is there a better way?

    I've lost iWeb and thus my web design.  I must start from scratch.  Should I reinstall iWeb 09 and use that, or is there a better way?

    The file you really need is named Domain.sites2 which resides in your   Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb foldler.  It's independent from the iWeb application. If it's not in there do you have a backup of your hard drive from an earlier time? 
    Resinatll iWeb 3 from the iLife 09 disk or wherever you got it from originally and then try what's described below:
    In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • SSAUDIT .alg and .atx files are out of synch. How do I start from scratch ?

    After upgrading Hyperion Planning from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.1, the .alg and .atx files that are generated when SS Audit is enabled are now out of synch. How do I start from scratch again ? Stated differently, the row numbers in the .alg file no longer correspond to the .atx rows. How do I "reset" these files so they start again in row 1 ?
    I know this must have happned to someone else so I thought a solution could be easily googled and found. I can't find it anywhere.

    Stop the application and delete the files. If you want to just keep the changes from the last backup, change in the essbase.cfg SSAudit to SSauditR and then when you do an endArchive it will delete the files and start over
