The aspect ratio and dimensions of the MPEG-4 movies are distorted horizontally when I transfer them either from my macbook pro or my Lacie external drive to my new iMac. What can I do?
I just bought a 27" iMac with an intel core i5 processor. Most programs and files have tranferred successfully. The dimensions of the MPEG-4 movie files have been horizontally distorted. What can I do to correct this problem and prevent the dimension distortion from occurring in the future.
Hi landonw
The HD will probably have to be removed from the MacBook Pro and connected to a USB adapter or placed in a dock to get your data off of it. I would take the MacBook Pro along, the folks at the Apple Store should be more than happy to help transfer your data to a new iMac.

To protect your data in the future, pickup a USB External HD +(for under a $100)+ and use Time Machine.

What is the aspect ratio and fps for video in Connect 9?
I'm trying to find any definitive details on the aspect ratio and fps supported by Connect 9. It is well documented for 8 that it was 640x480 at 20 fps. Is that the same for 9? Or has that improved?
The supported resolution and frame rates for video in the Video pod have not changed with Connect 9.

Hello, my sister her macbook pro cannot connect to our wireless internet. My imac however can, so the problem has to do with her laptop. We were wondering how we could solve this problem? Thank you very much in advance!
We did that, but it just doesn't seem to be able to connect. So basically we tried to connect to our network and insert the password, but afterwards it does nothing. Weird thing is also that the network symbol (top right of the screen) says that it has been connected, but when I go look at the system preferences --> network, it states that it has not been connected

I recently purchased a new iMac with an 1 Terrabyte external drive. I want to transfer my files from my old iMac to the external drive, but I'm afraid that doing that will compromise the use of the external drive on my new iMac. I have not downloaded the external drive's software onto my old Mac because of this concern. May I simply "drag and drop" the contents I want transferred to the external drive, then set up my new Mac with the drive and download there? or is there a better procedure? Comments? Help?
If your intention is to copy a just documents and data (word processing files and music for example) then yes, you can use drag and drop. If you want to transfer data and applications and permissions, it would actually be easiest to connect the drive to your old computer and turn on TimeMachine. Once TM is finished, connect the drive to your new computer and restart it holding the option key to get into Recovery mode. Then you can use the restore from TM option to transfer your data and programs to the new computer.

When I unplug Apple headphones from my MacBook Pro sond from internal speakers not work, and system soud preferences displayed: Output: optical digital out port only
If you see a red light in the audio output port, then the internal switch is stuck. Insert the earphone plug a few times and see if you can trip the switch. If that fails, insert a cocktail stirrer and the like and jiggle it around inside. If that fails, take it to an Apple store and have the technicians at the genius bar do it for you.

I have been trying to figure out how to transfer Photoshop CS5 from my Macbook Pro to the my iMac. The Macbook Pro was running Mountain Lion until I updated a few days ago to Maverick. The iMac is sill running Mountain Lion because when I went to update to Maverick it let me know that I would not be able to run Photoshop CS3. Under normal conditions I would not be concerned, but I don't have the Photoshop CS5 disk anymore to install it, so hence my problem.
I tried backing up to time machine and that did not work, I tried a transfer using firewire and it transfer the problem but then when I try to open it on the iMac it is looking for the serial number.
I would appreicate any help on resolving this.Hi landonw

After updating to ios 8 through itunes, I lost my music and now I cant transfer some music from itunes (macbook pro) to my iphone 4s back. Any idea how can I do that?
After posting this, I've since found out that my iOS iTunes App on my iPhone 6 Plus works all OK when on WiFi, it just won't work when on the data/3/4G connection.
Anybody else having this same issue since updating to iOS 8.3? -

MacBook Pro (Mid 2010) - crashing problems remain after fixes under warranty, what can I do?
Hey all,
So I've had this computer (MacBook Pro 15" mid-2010 model) for a little over a year (bought it a few days after the refresh). Later in the year, it started to get regular crashes until it would become completely unresponsive to the point where turning it on meant I got several beeps (which apparently suggested the RAM was at fault). It was still under warranty, so I had it fixed (RAM replaced). The problems remained, so I returned to have it properly fixed. I went back and forth several times where it was said it had been fixed but actually wasn't. It got to the point where the whole logic board had to be replaced. Although now the keyboard backlight wasn't working, so had to go back and have that fixed as well.
Here's the problem, the MacBook Pro is no longer under warranty. However, the same crashes have started up again. Though it hasn't quite reached the state it was in last year, it still crashes like it use to back then when the crashes first started and I'm afraid that it will eventually reach the state it was in last year. Since the problem is the same as when I originally went to have to MacBook Pro fixed (which was while it was still under warranty) and it took several fixes before it seemed like it was fixed, it could very well still have the same problem. So with that reasoning, am I still covered under warranty?
Originally, I didn't think much of these crashes because all computers crash every now and again. But today when it crashed, it began beeping like it did last year when it wasn't working at all anymore. The crash in itself is totally random in relation to what I may be doing on the computer. The ways it crashes varies: random sudden shut down (not dead battery), a screen comes up suggesting I restart, screen completely freezes, screen goes weird with random color lines.
Also, I don't always get a crash report but I kept one that I did get about two weeks ago after a crash. Perhaps someone technical can take a look and tell me where the problem is in this case?:

com.apple.iokit.IOACPIFamily 1.3.0I can assure you that the sympton is indeed identical. For as the computer got worse, eventually it refused to start up and made 3 beeps. It has done this before, but today more times than before (just like when it first had this problem). Where-ever you go on the internet, it will tell you that the 3 beeps suggest the RAM is at fault. So, the same 3 beeps, means the same problem, which is the RAM.
With that in mind, I re-ask my question with the same reasoning and justification; am I still covered under warranty? (Reasoning/Justification: Considering the original problem was not entirely fixed, though something else was to make the MacBook Pro last a little longer before the reoccurance of this problem). -
I have a 2010 macbook pro which will not load past white loading screen. What can I do?
Hi
Can anyone advise what to do?
The laptop has not been dropped but before this happened the internet wouldnt work on it? It has been faultless til today.Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -
I am wanting to transfer iphoto pics from my macbook pro to my iMac. How can I do this?
I have a macbook pro that has iPhoto 11 version 9.1.5 that has pictures that I am trying to move over to my iMac into iPhoto on the iMac which is iPhoto 11 version 9.1.5. What is the easiest way to move these pictures from my macbook pro to my iMac?
On the iMac: Export the 30 or so pics from iPhoto to a Folder in the Desktop (File -> Export)
Then go to the Pictures Folder and drag the iPhoto Library to the trash.
Next: Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network, Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
Then import the 30 from the folder on the Desktop. -
Hi can anyone help me? I am having trouble printing from my macbook pro to my brother printer. It worked fine yesterday but now its dissapeared from my options to print.
I have tried plugging in an eternet (blue) cable from the printer to the wireless router, but i dont know how to make my macbook find the wireless printer!
If your printer is like my Canon printer, you'll have to do as Bob suggests - use the Setup on the LCD panel of your printer to set up wifi. Pretty easy with my Canon PIXMA MG8220...

HDV Aspect Ratio and Exporting For the Web
INTRODUCTION
I am trying to export an HDV video for the first time and have managed to confuse myself. I want to upload it to blip.tv and they transcoded videos into Flash with 4:3 aspect ratio. But more than that, I want to understand how this all works so I don't have to guess about the settings that will give me what I want.
BACKGROUND DATA
4/3 is 1.333...
16/9 is 1.777...
1440/1080 is 1.333... (if the pixels are square)
1920/1080 is 1.777... (if the pixels are square)
In FCP my clip format says:
Frame Size: 1440 x 1080
Pixel Aspect: HD (1440 x 1080) (Does this mean the pixels are 1.333... times wider than it is high?)
EXPORT USING QUICKTIME CONVERSION
When I go to export this clip using Quicktime Conversion under the Options... Size... dialog and look at the Dimensions dropdown, (I assume this is the dimensions of the exported video. Is that correct?)
Some of the settings are (the settings are in quotes, my notes are in parentheses.):
"HD 1440 x 1080 16:9" (if pixels are square this is 4/3)
"HD 1920 X 1080 16:9" (if pixels are square this is 16/9)
So both of these settings claim to be 16:9 but they both can't be true unless they have different pixel aspect ratios (which I find hard to believe). This makes me think I don't really know what they mean when they notate something as 16:9. Can anyone give a definition that will help me here?
EXPORTING FOR THE WEB
Using FCS2, what settings should I use to export this clip undistorted for the web (with letterbox if needed)?
Thanks for the help,
Rob:-]What I find with HDV 16x9 1440x1080 footage, is that when you output for the web you have to hard code the size you want the result to be. 320x180 or 640x360 for example scale things nicely. If you want bigger, just do the math.
I don't know why but whenever I select a predefined output size, it always screws it up (I don't work with 4:3 ever, so I'm speaking only of 16x9). So I always enter the size I want.
And as far as Compressor 3, I really can't get that to set the size I want correctly either. Mostly its due to me being lazy and not wanting to spend a year reading the Compressor manual. A package that should basically have the easiest interface known to man is now so complicated that unless I have to hand-holding tutorial, or get to drag/drop one of their presets, I end up screwing things up with it. Not to mention that you get to wait for hours just to see how you screwed up the settings of your output.
