The Way I See It!

I am part of a group of Mac users. We each have a desktop model and a laptop computer as well as Airport Extreme base stations. I think many Mac users have this kind of arrangement. In every case the printers can not be networked so that we can print from both without having to change the cable arrangement. As well as the provided printer drivers we have tried Gutenprint, PrintFab, and PowerRIP drivers with no success. I use my family's computers as examples.
Example1:
I have a MacBook Pro and a G5 Quicksilver desktop both are running Leopard (10.5.2). I have an Epson Photo 2200 printer. I can print from the MacBook wirelessly with the printer attached to the Airport. However, the G5 will not print with it connected that way. I have to unplug the printer from the Airport and attach it to the USB port on the G5. That being done, you then can't print from the MacBook.
Example 2
My sister has a MacBook and an iMac (ppc) both running Leopard (10.5.2). She has a Canon ip4500 and has exactly the same problem.
It is frustrating! Why can't Apple and the manufacturers of printers get these problems resolved in a reasonable time frame.
It appears that they are both just interested in selling their new products and not resolving these obvious issues. at least, that's the way I see it!

I believe we are expected to use Effects for things like your lighting change. There are several in the Effects browser under Lighting that may accomplish what you are after; Bloom, Glow, Aura, etc. I presume the theory is that these should give you greater control and a richer effect than a simple exposure control.
And if they don't do what you need, it is not difficult to whip up your own in Motion. Creating a simple exposure control should be ... simple. That is, if you are into Motion. Which with Final Cut Pro X seems to be an increasingly valuable skill.
Regarding requests 2 and 3, they do not seem approachable in Motion.

  • They changed the way we see our appointments. That's awful! Is there a way to chnage back to the "old" way when you could see all your appointments at a glance????

    They changed the way we see our appointments. That's awful! Is there a way to chnage back to the "old" way when you could see all your appointments at a glance????

    Maybe I'm fool, but how I get the "day view"? I have three options on the top line, an icon that seems a computer (a square and two lines), a magnifying glass to search a especific item and a "plus" to add appointments. The "day view" isn't any more there - that's the point!!! Using the first icon a get the full month-that uses 2/3 of the screen- and two lines of appointments...To see the rest I have to slide up and down the two lines taking care to not touch the month...

  • Maverick refuses to install all the way

    My internet is connected and working but Maverick refuses to install all the way (past seeing it on the launchpad) because it says my internet isn't connected. Any help would be great! Thanks!

    Perhaps it isn't enabled on the computer. Try connecting the computer by Ethernet cable directly to the router, then restart the computer. See if that helps.

  • Is there a way to see all my compound clips created on the timeline, in the browser as an accessible thumbnail list....?

    I am facing a problem that
    due to big footage I first extracted the seemingly fine clips in chunks in one timeline in various layers which is still enormous for my RAM
    now I have to take out smaller and more appropriate bits from this timeline
    I have opened another timeline where I just copy paste the best shots from my previous enormous timeline and this works fine due to less media for 6gb RAM mac pro
    but it is really tedious to go back and forth to copy paste
    it would be so wonderful if I could extract those bits from the clips just like we do with any other new footage from the browser window with all the clips visible
    I think one way can be to export these compound clips seperately and import them as events into the browser but that would be a generation loss
    is there any other way.....? to view these compound clips infront of my eyes all at once or keeping all that footage on the timeline besides the finalising layer is the only option...?
    I am facing this rare problem because I'm editing a music video and no shot is more than 2 seconds and that too from several groups of footage that has to be mixed.....so all the data has to be visible to decide if a bit of guitar piece would look good here or drums or close up or long shot.....so everything has to be seen....can you suggest me a smarter workaround please ?

    Thank you.Ok say for e.g.
    500 video files imported in fcpx
    800 clips extracted from these obviously on the timeline and joined/compounded according to their content in say 15 layers according to 15 instruments used ,so now just to see the entire usable footage ....
    now one 7 minute song sequence has to be made where bits would be simultaneously taken from these 15 layers as all instruments are playing simultaneously
    these shots are not more than 2 secs each according to the beat........
    when I try to work with these 15 layers as well as the Final primary layer that I'm making in the same timeline my fcpx becomes slow
    but when I drag individual layer to individual timelines it is fine so that is the only option
    but now for every 2 second bit I have to go back to the 15 layered timeline and find one single suitable shot
    So I was wondering is there a way to be able to see these layers and clips on the timeline in the browser in a systematic fashion like the way we get with keywords  ?
    and keywords can only be used in the imported clips already in the browser ,and not after we drag it on the timeline.....
    Till now I think exporting and importing back is the only option ...but is there another work around ?

  • In ICal is there a way to see all of the text in all day events on the month view of the calendar.  Seems to wrap text only if there is a time on the event

    The paths won't agree on the two OSs so a simple XML import isn't likely to work.
    See Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers and, if needed, Make a split library portable. The techniques in the first link will work when moving the library between Windows and OS X as long as the library is "portable", but iTunes takes quite some time checking the database when the library is opened under a different OS.

  • Having a problem with mini dvi to hdmi.  Can see the background, but must move all screens all the way to the right to see on tv.  Any solutions?

    I'm having an issue with setting up mini dvi to hdmi.  I can connect and see the background picture from my macbook (approx 4 years old) but in order to see any screens or video, I have to move the screen almost all the way off the macbook display to the right.  Any ideas why this would happen?  Also, there is no audio, although when I bought the adapter and cable at the Mac store, they assured me it would handle both.

    You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. In System Preferences>Displays on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will makethe second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in ClamshellMode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
    Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box.
    No Mini-DVI adapter can carry audio. The only MacBook that sends audio is the Mid 2010 model 7,1 through a Mini DisplayPort.
    If you connect the MacBook using a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo system for audio if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini-DVI to HDMI doesn't carry audio and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.

  • Is there a way to see from Win7 the safari tabs that are open on my ipad?

    Fairly often, I send webpages I see on Facebook over to Safari on my iPad that I want to transfer over to my desktop Windows 7 machine.  The way I do that now is to physically carry the iPad over to the PC, open Safari, open a browser on the Win7 machine, and then on the Win7 machine I go to the domain the article is on, and search for it there from the search function on that website.  This is a really laborious and frustrating process.  Recently, I noticed in Safari that if I tap on the cloud icon on the upper right corner, it brings up a message saying "iCloud automatically shows all the open tabs on your other devices."
    It sounds very much like if I have tabs open in Safari on my iPad, and I have, say, an iPhone on the same iCloud account, I would be able to see on the iPhone, in real time, a list of all the tabs currently open on the iPad.  But it also suggests that I *SHOULD* be able to see those tabs from my Windows desktop machine, if I have iCloud installed there.  I have spent several hours trying to find a pluggin that lets me do that on Win7.  I DO NOT want to synch my bookmarks between the two machines.  I ONLY want to zap the currently-open tabs from iPad Safari to my Win7 machine, so I can save them on the Win7 machine (drag and drop a shortcut to a folder, tweet the link, copy-paste it to chat, etc).  To put it another way, I ONLY want to see the tabs I have open on my iPad via my Windows machine, and open one or the other of them on the Windows machine.  I don't want, or need, to synch my bookmarks between machines.  I JUST want, from Windows, to be able to see the URLs I *currently* have open on my iPad and then load them on the Windows machine.
    Is there a way to do that?

    Try a program such as Disk Inventory X or OmniDiskSweeper.

  • How can I see my reminders in my Mac in the same way I see them in my iPad and iPhone

    How can I see my reminders in my Mac in the same way I see them in my iPad and iPhone, I is easier to work with reminders in Ipad and Iphone rather to see them like a list on ICal

    The calendar seems to be the only way to see reminders right now. I'm aware of no 3rd party program that deals with just reminders...but I'd like to find one.

  • Is there a way to see the full album names on my iPod Touch?

    When albums have long names, they are cut off. This isn't normally a problem, except if the album is part of a multi-disc set, where the names all begin the same way, as shown in this screen shot of my iPod Touch
    At the end of each album name is a number (I, II, III).
    Is there a way to see full album names on iPod Touch?

    Flip the iPod horizontal and look at the cover flow mode. You will be able to see the complete album name, even if you don't have the artwork.

  • Is there a way to see the IP addresses I logged in from?

    Is there a way to see my IP addresses that I logged into my Apple ID from? Looking around other people thought this was just something Apple did from time to time, but I figure if I can see my login IPs I should be able to evaluate if there was any suspicious activity. I didn't see a way when I logged in to change my password as a precaution. Google does a good job of letting you see your IP logins.
    I got this email from Apple
    Dear ****,
    “iPhone” was automatically removed as a trusted device from two-step verification for your Apple ID (m•••••@email.address)
    Your trusted devices are used to verify your identity when you make changes to your account, sign in to iCloud, or make iTunes or App Store purchases from a new device.
    To protect your security, when you erase a device it will be removed from your list of trusted devices. To re-verify your device, sign in to My Apple ID choose Password and Security, and then Add or Remove Trusted Devices.
    If you did not erase this device or if you believe an unauthorized person has accessed your account, you should reset your account password immediately at My Apple ID.
    If you need additional help, visit Apple Support.

    Sign out of the iTunes Store then back in. That will refresh the amout.

  • Is there a way to see the actual fonts in the "choose a font" drop-down list of a message window?

    When selecting a font for a message in Thunderbird, the only way I can find to see what the font looks like is to actually change the font of text I've already written. To try more than a few fonts at random would be a sheer waste of time.
    I'm using an older version of MS Word, which has the option of allowing the user to see the actual fonts displayed in the font selection drop-down list.
    Is there any way to set up Thunderbird to do this?

    The short answer is no.

  • I know this is a common question - but is there a way to connect a USB pen drive to the iPad? (See details)

    Basically, I just bought a Nexus 7 after growing impatient waiting for the iPad mini.  But the Nexus has a fault, and I'm taking it back next week.  I'm wondering whether to get my money back, or just get another - because it's a pretty good device!
    My major big thing about it, is that I can plug a USB pen drive into it with a OTG cable and either just stream pictures, documents or movies - or save them to the Nexus for viewing without a dangly wire to annoy me.  It's great!  However, being an Apple fan - an iPad mini (if it comes out!) would be simpler, because it would sync to iCloud etc.  whereas obviously my Nexus 7 doesn't do this at all.  The only iCloud factor I can access is my mail.  Which isn't a problem, just a prefference.
    So, with current iPads - is there a way, without jailbraking the device, to say stream movies to the device through a USB pen drive/external HDD, and save them to the iPad?
    I've seen ways on YouTube but thought it was best to ask here.
    If this was possible, I'd swap the Nexus for the iPad mini straight away - the Nexus 7 is fantastic!  No problem with it, if it wasn't for iCloud, I'd keep that.
    Oh, and as a closing question on the iPad mini/Apple Maps - the Nexus 7 lets you download offline maps, and also you have a GPS which is used even when not on wifi - do you think this will be likely on an iPad mini? I can't see it myself.
    It's a sad day for me, when I start to think Google may still have the upperhand on 7" tablets, even after the iPad mini is released.  I might even wait for the Second generation (if it exists!) - just because I for some reason never like first generation things from Apple.
    But anyway, that's a lot of questions and info!
    Thanks in advance!

    Ok, fair enough.  But since Job's death - Apple's control on leaks has been terrible.  I got the new iPhone, and I like it - but it hasn't made nearly as big as an impression as previous ones.  Because of the vast ammount of leaks.  With the iPad mini leaks, it's 99% sure to come out next week.
    Apple uses many manufacturers and it's massive also websites prefer to report on Apple whether true or false because it brings more hits.
    Amd by "others" I meant other people on iPads - not other devices/manufacturers.  It's possible to do so, I just want to know how.  I honestly don't think we'll ever be in a Post-PC era until all tablets allow us to use USB in the way computers do.
    No, USB is not the future, you missed the memo about cloud and wireless computing?

  • Is there a way to see the photo information on the iCloud sharing pages?

    There seems to be an issue with Apple wanting people to see the information for each photo easily.  When I share a photo in a shared album on iCloud, I don't see the title nor do I see any photo information, only the date that the photo was shared. 
    I DO see the date of the picture when it's in slide show view, in light font at the bottom right-easy to miss, but not when it's the basic view that allows us to scroll through the photos. 
    Is there a way to see the title and date of the photos on the left where the black space is and the sharing info is?
    It seems that this whole Photos program is half-done...
    Thank you,
    Dave

    There is an App at the App store called "Battery Magic". You can get a trial version, (free) that will show you what you want to know, including battery life, and how long you can play games, music and other things on your current battery life.
    You can also download the full version. I think its $0.99.

  • On Pages, let's say you have two similar documents, but you need to compare the two to see the differences.  Is there a way to do that?

    On Pages, let's say you have two similar documents. Two versions of the same document, but not merged in Cloud and saved as two separate files. B ut you need to compare the two to see the differences, some things on one, but not in the other.  In Word, they would merge the two and differences would be highlighted in red.  Is there a way to do something like that?

    Not actually in Pages, but there is third party software that purports to do this, google around.
