Trying to Trace Logo but it looks bad

Hi, I'm trying to use the Trace function in illustrator using the technique from this blog: http://layersmagazine.com/create-logos-using-live-trace-in-illustrator.html
But it either makes the text lines curvy if I set the settings to high and if they Trace settings are too low I get white and pixealtion on the sides of the text.
I believe the white is there because the logo has a border color of green behind the text.
Logo is attached here: http://www.mediafire.com/?0n6g5ief4htnzue
I prefer to use illustrator so that I can trace the logo and then use it in a video at any size without ruining the text.
I appreciate any help.

You could simply re-draw it? I mean, two swooshes and a sphere-y head? RLY? My mom could do it in PowerPoint! And simply find the font for the text. Can't be that difficult, considering that it looks like a standard system font to begin with.

Looks good in FCE but DVD looks bad

Hi Guys hope you can help, Have FCE, imports from sony handycam , everything looks good and tight in FCE but when exported to iDVD the finished product looks terrible, hard to describe but looks blurry, almost a ghosting to motion shots, this doesn't do it when I burn from iMovie, I've tried different setups in easy setup with no luck, However I did ( out of frustration) export back to tape and then import into iMovie and then burned from there and it looked much better, please help, thank you

Thank you for responding so quickly, I'm not sure what you require for spec on the Mac but it's a Mac Pro with Hardware Overview:
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 2 GB
OS isMac OS X 10.5.4, FCE is version 4, Quicktime is version 7.5, iMovie is version 7.1.4
Sony camcorder is DCR-SR42( 1/6 type) CCD 680,000 pixels, this is a non-tape type, internal harddrive. Note: I also have a Sony DCR TRV 310 tape type that FCE does see and able to control, Clip info says Compressor = DV/DVCPRO- NTSC Data rate = 3.6MB/sec
FCE doesn't see the Sony DCR-SR 42 camcorder when I connect ( via USB) but iMovie does, so I download into iMovie, clips come in as a .mov, clip info says 720x480, FCE clip info says : Creator =Quicktime Player, Compressor= Apple MPEG-2 SD camcorder Video, Data rate=1.2MB/sec, Frame size= 720x480, Vid Rate= 29.97 fps.
So files in iMovie, I open FCE and import files from iMovie , tried using the XLM export from iMovie and it does work however after doing compared testing on test DVD the imported files looked better than the XLMs. I have the easy setup using the DV-NTSC as that's the only one that comes close to what I'm using, same goes for when I export, I export using the Quicktime export with self contained off.
I have iDVD set to professional encoding, (ya I know , iDVD not that professional) when final burn is done and played on a DVD player on a LCD the finished video is really low resolution quality, the content is of a football game ( my sons) using tripod of coarse, but the images are rough, blockly, looks like really bad codec or wrong codec or wrong conversion type or too much compression. I have done other DVD's with iMovie from tape camera that look alot better than what I'm getting from FCE, Please help, what I'm I doing wrong, thank you

HI
I was trying to take my Mac air to factory default settings.
I've done all that it says in the documment i was following, and them during the process it asked me the APPLE ID.
I put the apple id i have in my iphone. But it's not the one... it's said that i don't have any OSX associated with it... so it can not install the OSX.
So what can i do?

My 5th ten iPod is basically doing nothing but trying over and over again to start up. I've tried to restore it, but when the logo apple appears, it simply shut down.

my 5th ten iPod is basically doing nothing but trying over and over again to start up. I've tried to restore it, but when the logo apple appears, it simply shut down. Then I've connected it to my macbook pro, and I've seen the script "Please Wait - Very Low Battery", but, after some time, the iPod tries to start up again, and nothing happens. It's a kind of noise, I'm thinking about the hard disk, (it's a 80Gb version), and I'm listening to it; every 30 seconds seems to try to open and then shut down again. I can't see the iPod in iTunes too. Don't know what to do. Can someone help me? Thanks a lot, it's my first forum

It sounds like the battery could be going bad as well as the iPod's Hard drive. You'll want to have the iPod serviced either by Apple or a third party repair company. Here is Apple's pricing:

Google for "iPod repair" and you should get a ton of results to work with.

On starting up my new iPhone 4s, it freezes on the apple logo. I have tried the reset buttons trick and have tried restoring again too but nothing works. Any other ideas? Or is the phone simply corrupt in some way?

Did you try to connect in recovery mode and restore without using the latest backup?
Recovery mode and How to back up your data and set up as a new device
If setting up as new device does not work, you'll have to get it serviced or looked at by visiting an Apple Store.
Did you try to remove the ipsw firmware file and restore, to make iTunes download a new copy from Apple?
Those files are located here:
Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw)
iTunes uses "ipsw" files to restore your iPod or iPhone. If those files are unusable, then try deleting them, renaming them, or moving the file to a different directory. This will cause iTunes to download a new copy of the IPSW. When a restore issue is specific to a user, it is likely due to an unusable .ipsw file. If removing the .ipsw file does not resolve a user-specific restore issue, then the issue is caused by other user-specific security software settings or iTunes preferences. Creating a new user will also cause new .ipsw restore files to be downloaded in the new user. You can find the ".ipsw" files in these locations:
Mac OS X
iPhone
~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
iPad
~/Library/iTunes/iPad Software Updates
iPod touch
~/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates
Note: The tilde "~" represents your Home directory.
Windows 7 and Vista
iPhone

iPad

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Help! Mac won't start. I hear the ding and see the apple logo but the bar below it never goes further than an inch before the screen goes dark. I have tried unplugging.

Oh no Mr.Ected!
I can see if we can get your phone back on! I understand how important it is to have a phone. Have you tried this to see if we can get it back on? http://vz.to/1DZhteH . If it is still goes to a red Verizon screen and then to black we might need to do a master reset. While the phone is off try this:http://vz.to/1DZhXkU Be mindful this is the last resort because it will erase everything on the phone. If you have done back up assistant in the past you will be able to get you contacts back. Please let me know if you need any more help.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom

The way I did it was I got the free app sync:stream from the App Store and then added my ipod to my ps3's Bluetooth devices. Then went to audio settings and set output and input to 'Skaggs iPod' you then open the app and it will be listed under music as a media service. You then go to all tracks and click copy (press triangle) it will then begin to copy all of your songs onto your ps3 via Bluetooth. I haven't tried but I assume the same can be done with photos. I hope this was helpful reply if you have any questions :) good luck

My ipad has suddenly decided not to connect to the internet. My WiFi signal is strong. My PC is connected ok through the same WiFi signal. I have tried pressing the home and off buttons to get the apple logo but this makes no difference

My ipad2 has suddenly decided not to connect to the internet either through Safari or email. My WiFi signal is strong and all other devices in my house are connecting ok. I have tried pressing the home and off buttons together to get the Apple Logo but this has not changed anything, still cannot connect. "Safari cannot open the page because your ipad is not connected to the internet"

I have done this and no difference
I have just realised what has caused the problem.
Yesterday I fitted an additional Homeplug with built in wireless N adapter ( I alreday have another type fitted from my main router position) The wireless system to my ipad is obviously "confused" . Having now removed the second homeplug and reset my ipad all is now ok
