Trying to decide to purchase or wait for OS X photo?

I'm a new photographer and don't want too many complications. I'm wondering if I should get Aperature before it disappears os OS X photo. Does anyone know what the difference will be?

I would not pay for Aperture. It is being discontinued by Apple.
Have you tried iPhoto? That would be a logical place to start. Photos is not an Aperture replacement, but an iPhoto replacement. However the two are quite similar, so if you get used to how iPhoto works, you'll have a head start on Photos. In fact, iPhotos does a couple of things better than Photos (you can edit location, for example).
If you do need a more comprehensive photo organizer and/or editor, there are tons of alternatives that are still being developed, from all sorts of vendors, and even in open source software. Some are simple, some more complex. Unlike Aperture, most all of them have demos you can download and try out.
So don't waste any money or time (it does require some time to learn all or even most of its features) on Aperture; it would be throwing money down a hole.

Trying to decide between G5 and waiting for MacIntel

Are the G5's not going to be available when the MacIntel desktops come out?
I use all Adobe products. I am not willing to run an emulator and I understand CS3 is at least a year away.
Dont know what to do. If anyone could offer any thoughts I would be most appreciative.

Hi Cindy,
I don't think that they will be, but we don't know. We are all users as you are so we have no real information. One would think that they would since both the Mac Mini and iMac lines have converted, but then there's the PowerBooks. The MacBook Pro only replaced the 15" PowerBook. Since the PowerMac line has 4 different models (similar to the PowerBooks), so who knows what will happen.
You might want to look at Macworld: LabTests. It shows that the CS2 version has not slowed down by much. With a faster Core Duo in the G5, you shouldn't notice a difference.

HT1338 I have new IPHONE MINI - From my MAC, it says I need to update to 10.6.8 in order to update my ITUNES for MINI. Can I update online? Do I have to purchase and wait for delivery or perform online?

I purchased IPAD MINI for my daughter. To properly register the new MINI, it says to update ITUNES. However, in order to update ITUNES, I need to update my software to 10.6.8.
Can I do so over the net or do I have to purchase and wait?

You can purchase OS X 10.6 from the online Apple store by calling them, which in the US is at 800-MY-APPLE or you can buy it online here. After you receive it, install it, run Software Update until there are no more updates, at which point you'll be at OS X 10.6.8 and can install iTunes 10.7. Note your system needs a minimum of 1GB of memory to run OS X 10.6.8.

Purchase requisition waiting for approval

Hi ,
Can you please tel me a table name where i can see a PRs waiting for approval for particular user.
Like , when we see PRs in ME55 tcode for particular user. From which table we get these entries??
Much thanks in advance.,
Nilesh.

EBAN you get the exact level. but thing is here you can get the rel stat as X only.
Say examply if you have 3 rel level means, in this rel stat each level release it will get update X. If two level released XX will be there.
Create one Z table there you will maintain the release code,user and level combination. two compare this z table and eban you can get the user list.
directly you cannot get the its lying with which user.

How to decide when an a "wait for event action" is activated

Hi,
In the attched example file (which is a part of my program)I have 3 basic stages, enclosed in a sequence structure:
1) I initialize the GUI buttons
2) I check the instruments in my system are opened and ready to run ("VSWR initialize vi")and issue a true/false result.
3) A case structure for normal run or abort operation (if the instruments do not
respond correctly).
4) If everything is ok the user has to scan a S/N using a bar code scanner.
The problem is that when I run the program the EVENT STRUCTURE in the FALSE part of the case is automatically activated, before the VSWR initialize vi is started!
This causes that when the user tries to scan the serial number on the GUI he can only type one character and then the screen is stuck.
If I disable the result from the VSWR initialize vi (as shown on the example) and connect a TRUE constant to the case structure, the event structure is not activated but then of course I can not use the "VSWR initialize vi".
How can I make sure the event structure is activated only after the two first parts are done? That is, in normal order - only after the "VSWR initialize vi" returns a false result.
Note, there's no need to understand each component in the attached file. The question is rather a general one about the right way to synchronize my program.
Can anyone help ?
Thank you in advance.

Saverio already mentione most critical points. here are a few more:
A very ugly quick fix (duct tape repair) is to configure the events to NOT lock the FP until the event completes. I recommend against this.
All your buttons should be latch action. Now you don't need to reset them at the beginning.
Set the "Board SN" string control to "limit to single line" and you don't need to remove the linefeed later. You should handle it with a "value changed event" anyway.
You have way too many sequence structures. Many times execution order is not that inportant.
Event structures need to be on a toplevel diagram loop, always ready to fire. Don't hide them inside case structures or inner loops.
Lot's of unecessary code. Let's look for example at the code in the big FALSE structure:
You have a reference and write to a value property of the message box while the message box terminal is disconnected elsewhere on the diagram. Remove all that extra baggage and place the terminal right there and wire to it.
You have a while loop containing a sequence, containing another while loop. The sequence and outer while loop have no purpose.
The while loop spins millions of times per second, just burning CPU. How fast can you possibly type??? Place a 100ms wait.
Rewritten as event structure, it could looks as follows (buttons set to latch action, string set to "limit to single line" and NOT "update while typing"). (see iamge below).
Of course the entire code should be rewritten in a similar fashion and around this single event structure. A second event case could deal with the error condition. Simplify!!!!

Hi. I am a student from an academic institution. I decided to purchase a license for adobe photoshop cc. Buy I prefer to purchase it at once rather than paying on monthly basis.

Therefore, my questions are, is there any method to purchase it at once? What are the benefits by purchasing on monthly basis?Thanks

AFAIK the Adobe subscription model is by the Year, not by the month, with Monthly payments and I guess you could pay for the whole year in one lump sum.
Sorry it doesn't work like that.
So the Photographers subscription which includes both Lightroom and Photoshop cost $119.88 a year, $9.99 an month X 12, or the Full version of PS CS6 costs around $700. Which would be approximately 5.5+ years of the subscription if the rate stays the same.

Trying to decide if I should apply for the Citi Double Cash

I have a ton of inquiries. Wanting to garden, but I want to try. Just approved for a Venture for $5k a few days ago. CLI with Citi AAdvantage yesterday. Denied for both Delta Exp and Amex. Denied for even a Macys CLI even though that's just a soft pull. I think the Delta wasn't even a pull because when I went to check on the status, it was "canceled" instead of denied - may have been because I applied for the Amex the day prior. Really wanting that Citi Double. I know, I'm an addict now.

Citi likes to pull EQ and EX, which are your lowest scores respectively. That, coupled with your INQ's, probably won't bode well for your recon. I wouldn't apply for DC again until you see that you're prequalified online for it (where you are given a specific APR range). Cold apping for it is risky, especially if you have a lot of INQ's. The DC is probably Citi's toughest card to get given its UW requirements. Sorry to hear about the decline.

My Iphone 4s just went blank today. I have tried charging, rebooting, restoring, and now recovering. Nothing seems to have worked While trying to recover, my Itunes says "waiting for Iphone" My screen shows the Apple logo and a status bar. It's 2 hrs

Help!!! Been close to 3 hrs now

Hello Sean,
It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

Trying to decide between MacbookPro & iPad 2

Hi all- I'm starting high school next year and I am trying to decide between purchasing a MacbookPro and a iPad 2. I just need something to take notes on and I must have iWorks on it during the day, and for travel. I have access to an iMac at home where I have all of my homework, projects, files, etc. on, but I am just looking for something a bit more personalized for during the day use.
I am very nervous as to making the right choice, so all feedback is greatly appreciated!

Well, I have both. And I know students ( first year college) who get along just fine with an iPad for daily use and most of their coursework.
I wouldn't want to get along with syncing to someone else's Mac, however. I think that could get frustrating really fast, both because of a lack of access and a lack of personalization and privacy. But if it's YOUR Mac at home, and it has the specs to support an iPad then the iPad will certainly work.
My second warning about an iPad as your main computer is that while the iPad is fine for visual jounaling and social media, you're going to need a computer for more extensive creative work with images, video and music.
I'd suggest you look at a third choice, which is a MacBook. (Not a MacBook Pro). They are really sturdy (and iPads DO have to be babied and well-protected when they are transported) and plenty powerful enough to run image-editing, music and video apps. I recently spent a few days at a rural high school in my state where all the students get MacBooks and wow! What they were doing with them and how much easier they made managing their reading, research and writing was amazing.
One good thing: if you choose any of these products and find that it doesn't really meet your needs, you'll have no trouble selling it.

HP Laserjet 3055 printer "waiting for printer to be available" after HP Printer Software Update 3.0

I have an HP Laserjet 3055 All-in-One Printer. It has been printing just fine from my iMac running OS 10.9.5 (Mavericks) until after the HP Printer Software Update, Version 3.0, that I installed on 1 Oct 2014. Although the 3055 is shown as connected/idle to my iMac via USB, after clicking "PRINT" for a document, the print queue status soon changes from "printing" to "waiting for printer to become available", and the printer never becomes available. I have tried rebooting everything (printer, computer, text software), checking USB cable connections and changing USB ports, deleting and re-adding the 3055 printer (numerous times!) even after resetting the print system, but could there be something inherently wrong with the latest HP driver (version 19.9 for HP Laserjet 3052)? Or is it possible something else is going on? In other words, I have exhausted all the solutions I've found in these and other forums to no avail.
I have tested this printer by connecting it to my MacBook Pro (also running OX 10.9.5) but without having installed the HP Printer Software Update, Version 3.0. (Hadn't gotten around to this update...) The printer works fine, even though the driver has the same version number--19.9 for HP Laserjet 3052. So could the version 19.9 driver in the latest HP Printer Software Update be corrupted? Is there any way to reinstall that driver? Or copy the 19.9 driver from my MacBook Pro and install it on the iMac? HP only refers to the Apple Software Update process for Mavericks compatible drivers for this printer. Can I manually uninstall the HP driver for the Laserjet 3055 from my iMac and then have the iMac download the driver again in the process of re-setting up the 3055? Any suggestions appreciated.

Many thanks for your suggestions. After creating a bootable back-up, I tried the first suggestion--downloading and re-installing the HP printer driver update kit for which you kindly provided the link--but to no avail. Before downloading the driver update kit, I "reset the printing system", clearing all the installed printers, queues, etc. After re-installing the HP printer drivers, I went to System Preferences>Printers & Scanners to once again add the HP LaserJet 3055 only to discover it was already listed as installed! This I find baffling, to say then least. I tried printing and again got the "waiting for printer to be available" message. I subsequently tried deleting and re-adding the printer, going through the printing system reset again, but still no-go.
I also tried another approach to adding the printer which perhaps will shed some light on the problem. After clicking on the "+" button to add the printer, I select the "HP LaserJet 3055" which shows up as available via USB. Then, instead of using the "HP LaserJet 3052" driver that automatically appears in the "Use" [choose a driver] field, I chose "Auto Select" to see what happens. As the computer processes this request, the status message changes from "Gathering printer information..." to "Waiting for printer to become available..." And, of course, it never becomes available. This strikes me as odd, that the printer set-up system "sees" the printer accurately enough to list it as available to add but can't find it with the "Auto Select" approach to getting the appropriate driver. Of course, when I simply go with the "Use HP LaserJet 3052" driver option that, naturally enough, is the one automatically suggested by the printer set-up system, the printer is "successfully" added. I say "successfully" in quotes because it never becomes "available" to print something.
Before I try your second suggestion--downloading and re-installing the 10.9.5 combo update--I wonder if it's possible that the printing system reset process is "broken". It's as though the reset fails to clear the printer queue, making it appear that there is a pending printing job that the system is waiting to be finished. Also, as noted above, I reset the printing system prior to re-installing the HP printer driver update kit and then, after installation, the HP LaserJet 3055 magically had already been added. This makes me wonder if the printer wasn't properly "cleared" from whatever makes up the printer System Preference process during the reset.
Any other thoughts?

Trying to transfer purchases from my 3gs onto a new PC (Vista). Keep getting the message "Waiting for changes to be applied". HELP!

Using the latest version of iTunes and iOS5 on my iPhone. Backup of the iphone seems to work fine. My old PC died and I want to transfer my apps to my new PC. But when I start Transfer purchases from my iPhone, it just keeps giving the message "Waiting for changes to be applied" and doesn't do anything. I'm getting worried as I have an iPhone 4s coming and I want to move my 3gs stuff over to my new phone. Anyone know how to fix this?

Had the same thing happen to me a few weeks back when I switched computers and migrated. Here's what worked on my iMac, so maybe it'll work on your iPad, too. Go to User(your home folder)/Music. Select/highlight your "Music" folder. Then do Command-I ("Get Info" from the File menu), click on the padlock icon in the lower right of the new window. Enter your user password. Click on your username just above the now-open padlock. Select "Read & Write" if it's on "Read Only," "Write Only," or "No Access." Now having your user account with "Read & Write" privileges (it may have been this way already; still do this next step), click on the gear on the bottom-center of that window. Click on "Apply to all enclosed items." When the pop-up says "Are you sure?" (or the equivalent), say "yes." This will grant access privileges to your user account for all the music files inside your music folder--all your iTunes stuff included). Then you should be good to go.
