That's one small step for Apple, one giant leap backwards for us

I've been trying to get my head around this QT 10 vs QT 7 vs whatever else there is, and I have to say, as brilliant as I am, I don't get it. Not one bit of it. When I upgraded to Snow Leopard I lost my quicktime pro, and I get instead a quicktime that has the stupidest editing "feature" I've encountered anywhere: oh great, I can cut the beginning and end of a file. Nice work. It is counter-intuitive and totally lame. So what do I do? Dump it? Get QT 7? Someone on this site says 7 will not work with OS 10.6.blahblah. Where do I get a pro version of Quicktime? I don't want to Final Cut Express or iMovie when I have an itty bitty video clip that I need to trim and export into a different format. I mean, Apple: what is the what??

Thanks Kirk, but I did use Pacifist, and installed it. So problem solved but still I think its darn strange that we have two Quick Times, with different version numbers, and the "more advanced" number is actually the weaker product. But my QT 7x Pro is working fine. Thanks.

    Just kidding :-) I was just looking for an eye catcher...
    Want you check out a nice feature? Check out
    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=33231:40:::NO:::
    and tell me what you think...
    Has been tested with Firefox 2.0 and some basic testing with IE6.0
    More details coming soon.

    I have uploaded some details about the solution and how to integrate it into your own application.

    As I have written in the blog posting, I'm really new to JavaScript, just started 1 1/2 month ago and I'm currently on page 351 (total 994) of the JavaScript - The Definitive Guilde. So if you look at my code and think, man are you crazy, why you write that much code to do that, it's a simple regular expression and you are done! Please let me know!
    The JavaScript stuff was more work as I thought (especially if it should work with Firefox and IE), you really appreciate the build in TO_DATE and TO_NUMBER and it's flexibility when you have to implement that by yourself. :-)
    At least I haven't found a JavaScript validation toolbox which is compatible with the format mask settings of Oracle.
    Call for testing:
    -) I want know if the format mask checks I implemented work for all the combinations out there. The weird American ones with AM/PM and the month at be beginning should also work ;-)
    -) If the inline error display also works with other themes and userdefined label templates.
    So please plug it into your application and do a test drive of the new Ferrari! ;-)
    Thanks a lot

  • It's one small step for mankind, but one giant leap for me (DSP program)

    Hi guys,I don´t know if it is a off-topic here or if someone is interested.
    I was developing a DSP program i Java. All I told that I was developing this software
    said it was impossible. The JVM is very heavy, is an interpreted language etc. But it is working
    and with a good performance. Is a SDR (software defined radio) software, it is not finished but if anybody
    want to see some documentation, give me a few days and look for it at

  • Mac mini single core + bootcamp first impressions:"That's one small step.."

    That's one small step for man; one giant leap step for mankind"
    Neil Amstrong
    Hi!
    First of all I have to say I'm a mac freak and i will never ever switch back to windows, but in some rare cases there is a lack of software, for example special software, like engineering software cad or fem software.
    In this cases, I need windows to continue working.
    Three weeks ago I sucessfully installed windows xp sp2 on my new mac mini intel single core, and the only thing I wanted to know was, could it be done -
    Yes , but it was nothing for standard user i would say.Main problem was that windows must be installed on the first partition, which slowed down os x on the second, not all drivers were available and bootmangement was not like i had expected - I deletet xp and restored my os x.Keeping in mind that xp could run on my mm -
    Today I installed win xp sp2 using bootcamp beta and i have to say that it was amazing, like landing on the moon.
    Bootcamp solves the main lack of the installation, which i was confronted 2 weeks before - partitioning on the fly out of os x !!! and it uses the 2. partition for xp , which results that os x is running on the fast first partition.
    These are the steps for the mac mini moonlanding:
    1x xp sp2 cd, 1x cdr
    1.) I did the firmware update
    2.) Started bootcamp and bruned driver cd (83MB)
    3.) Restarted into osx & started bootcamp again, clicked install xp again
    4.) booted into xp and installed +restarted to xp
    5.) installed all drivers from bruned cdr (auto)
    6.) yeah all drivers are avaiable , even analog sound
    7.) Restarted holding down option-key (alt-key)
    8.) restarted to os x
    10.) opened sys-pref in osx and marked osx as default startvolume
    11.) continued living with two os'es on my mac mini!
    Thanks Steve, for this amazing landing!!! There is no need of virtualpc or Q anymore,there is no need of microsoft at all !!
    Steve, how many worldwide % of computer users ,you want to come over to us? 35 %?
    This will knock out microsoft in its base,that's the best thing concerning software I have ever seen !
    Greetings Tobias
    mac mini intel / pb G3 wallstreet   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Thanks Steve, for this amazing landing!!! There is no need of virtualpc or Q anymore,there is no need of microsoft at all !!
    Well, Microsoft does write Windows, you can't get rid of Microsoft all together and keep using Windows! If anything, this is a win against Dell or other vendors who sell hardware for Windows. It could be a boon for Microsoft to sell more copies of Windows, if anything.
    There is now a Boot Camp forum for trouble & questions.

  • Reset iPhone asks for Apple-AD and then asks for password for other Apple-ID (my old, before I changed the email adress)

    Reset iPhone asks for Apple-AD and then asks for password for other Apple-ID (my old, before I changed the email adress). Never had this problems before and I have reseted it once or twice since changing emailadress on the Apple-ID.

    Well, it does say on http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html in step 1: "To enable iCloud on your Windows PC (Windows 7 or 8 required), first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
    If you're trying to back up your device to iCloud, that doesn't have anything to do with your computer.  You back up to iCloud over wifi.  All you do is go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, scroll down and tap Storage & Backup, then turn on iCloud Backup.  You can then tap Back Up Now at the bottom to start the back up manually, or lock the screen and connect it to your charger and it will back up automatically every day.
    Enabling the iCloud control panel on your PC only allows you to sync your iCloud data with your PC, not to back up your device to iCloud.

    I want to get a new app for my ipad , but it first asked for apple ID and then asked for verify payment, what should i do?

    The iTunes Store needs the 3-digit security code from your credit card on the account.  The iPad will display the account information so you can enter this information.  Once you enter the information, purchase the app and it will download.  Sounds like the Apple ID and payment information is not yours (your parents), so discuss this with the account holder.

  • Looking for apple authorize reseller in usa for iphone 4S or 5

    I'm looking for apple authirized reseller in usa that sells unlocked iphone 4S or 5 , if any body will help with this topic , please.

    No. They don't. Amazon and eBay are not authorized sources for iPhones. The only authorized resellers in the US are agents of the authorized carriers. Pretty much anyplace where you can sign up for a contract with a cellular carrier you can buy an iPhone.
    If you want to carry the iPhone, you must be an authorized agent for a supported carrier. Then you go through the carrier to get your stock.

  • Hello, I have a new idea for apple... an idea for a new software !!! I need to know how to contact an official way to apple. Please help me

    I need to know how to contact an official way to apple !!! an E-mail official a site official... anything... Please help me, is a project for a new software.

    Apple does not accept unsolicited ideas. If you insist on sending them your idea according to  Apples policies the idea becomes the property of Apple and you loose all rights to it.
    It would be better for you to develop the idea, then if it amounts to anything and Apple is interested they will contact you. (As with Apples current move to acquire Beats Electronics).

  • HT4009 How long does it take for apple to return with the needed code for in app purchases.  We have a developer working through elance that states he submitted a finalized version last friday to apple and is still waiting to get the code back from Apple?

    We are being told by our elance developer that he is just waiting on apple to return the code for in app purchases with our app.  he says he had to submit a complete version before they would give it to him and that he did that last friday.  Needless to say i don;t beleive him.  Can anyone validate for me the process of getting the code installed into our app and how long it should really take.

    I'd say an average of one week, depending on backlog. Expect two if you are outside the US.
    The outage has caused some lingering effects that seem to be delaying things for some, however.
    Patience is key in all things when it comes to being a developer

  • Small Display for Apple TV

    Does anyone know of a small display say about the size of an LCD Photo Frame (7inches)that could be interfaced with the Apple TV when using it for music with the hi fi system?

    I am looking for a similar solution. We use a projector, so during the day, I would love to be able to see what is happening with my appletv / home theatre without firing up the projector.
    My wish would be for the HDMI from my HT to backfeed through the appletv and then into my laptop via airtunes so that I could view what was coming out of the stereo from the same route I was feeding info to it.
    Maybe a little out there, but it would be cool

  • Why Apple does not offer support for linux?

    We all know the history of Apple. It clearly shows a trend to be open source, excepting for the licenses they share with Microsoft. In my personal case, I love open source because it has solved several of my problems. Just to share this with everyone, I am the network manager of a educational institution and I used to have my servers running on windows platform. Since we used to buy it all from Microsoft, they would give us free software for or labs, software like Visual Studio. They even assigned us engineers to plan everything for our servers, free of cost. Guess what? It was a disaster. We had our database destroyed by an external attack. We were “lucky” to have Microsoft in our servers and in our firewalls.
    We had to take action, so I decided to switch to Debian, and to use IPCOP (a great dedicated firewall, if there is anyone interested, the link is: http://ipcop.org/ , please note, I am NOT affiliated with them, and I will receive no compensation or benefit if you chose to access it or not ). Both open source. The result, no external attack has been able to pass trough. After that, we switched most* of our e-learning platforms to open source, and guess what? We are saving over 60,000 yearly just in software. So for those who are looking for a good way to get good security without loosing an eye, try open source.
    Now back to the point, I do not fully support any operative system. They all have their good features, or at least they should. The ones I know, are because I use them. My home network is composed by computers running in five different versions of Linux, two running in Mac OS X Tiger, and some others running in XP pro. My main computer is running in Ubuntu, and is really sad to see that there is no software from apple available for Linux. That is honestly the worst part of Linux, having no iTunes or QuickTime available. No way to see multimedia in the web, etc. A suggestion for apple would be, give support for Linux, there are a lot of us wanting the same.

    Apple makes software and hardware. Therefore they
    offer a total solution. Now they even can have
    windows xp running on their hardware. Making a
    version of mac os to run on linix isn't practically.
    Under a mac is unix and you can run unix software
    with the mac so you could do ever thing you are
    doing with a mac.
    I did not know Linux was one type of computer, like Mac...
    Next topic, If I was willing to pay for it, this thread would not exist, because I can actually use a commercial software to adapt the windows web plug ins to Linux... If I was in charge of Apple, I would propose to develop free software support of my products, - plug ins and so - to other operative systems... But of course, even if I did, it would not be up to me. It would have to pass trough several layers of bureaucracy, and it would take a lot of time to be approved or rejected.
    Anyway, the main issue is, the three most important OS's are Windows, Linux, and Mac. And that can't be denied. Now you can even run Windows in a Mac PC, and vice versa... besides being fancy, what else could I do with a Mac PC using Windows, when I can build a machine able to run Windows for less than 300 bucks? OK if you want to try a Mac in a i386 or a x86... but I still rather to be the proud owner of a PowerMac G5 than the owner of a Pentium 4 / AMD using Mac OS.
    Also, I thought it would be fun to see the reactions and opinions of other people with this topic, hence, I was not expecting anyone from Mac to read it, and really do something about it, because I know they won't.
